Japanese artist RyojiIkeda's "data-verse," an immersive floor-to-ceiling video exhibition, makes its U.S. debut tonight in the High Museum of Art.
Zoom in: Ikeda's work uses digitized data and open-source imagery from NASA, CERN and other sources, accompanied by an electronic musical score written by the artist.
What they're saying: "Ryoji Ikeda's decades-long exploration of data, from sequences of alphanumeric symbols to collections of images of macro- and microcosms, is more relevant than ever, when data-driven decisions are precipitously changing the way people relate to the world," Michael Rooks, the High's Wieland Family senior curator of modern and contemporary art, said in a statement.
