RYOJI IKEDA
The Australian premieres of two works by acclaimed Japanese audio-visual artist Ryoji Ikeda.
Internationally renowned for creating spectacular sound and visual environments, Ikeda’s large-scale contemporary installation test pattern [No 5] is an immersive audio-visual installation inspired by computer programming data which converts information into barcode and binary patterns. Comprising five visual projectors that will illuminate a screen measuring 28 metres high and eight metres long, test pattern [No 5] will submerge visitors in an extreme illustration of projected and synchronized data and sound. In addition to test pattern [No 5], Ikeda will perform acclaimed audio-visual concert, datamatics [ver 2.0] on Friday 7 June 2013. datamatics [ver 2.0] is part of the datamatics series, an art project that explores the potential to perceive the invisible multi–substance of data that permeates our world. Using pure data as a source for sound and visuals, datamatics combines abstract and mimetic presentations of matter, time and space in a powerful and breathtakingly accomplished work.
Born in Japan, Ikeda has performed internationally to critical acclaim at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the Barbican Centre in London, Grec Festival in Barcelona and the Singapore Art Museum.
test pattern [No 5] installation 8 Jun – 1 Jul, 10am – 6pm daily

LEGENDARY HEARTS (Mel)
Legendary Hearts are the duo of Andrew Cowie (Angel Eyes) and Kieran Hegarty (Superstar). Named after a forgettable Lou Reed album, Legendary Hearts wrestle synths and guitars with the humble intention of creating “elevator music”. The pair have released one cassette on Dungeon Taxis and have a fourthcoming LP due out later on this year.

HALF HIGH:
Sydney’s Half High are the recently formed duo of Lucy Phelan (Naked on The Vague) and Matthew Hopkins (Naked on The Vague, Four Door). Half High make a damaged form of new age music featuring meditative synth lines, atmospheric tape collages and broken voices. They independently released ‘Suspension’ on CDr and Cassette in late 2012 and have more recently performed as part of their audio/visual installation titled ‘Calling Nina’ and supported Tim Coster (Room 40).

Temple of Din (ISEA)
ISEA presents Lucas Abela’s Temple of Din, an audio arcade where sound generation – not scoring – are the games’ main objective; featuring.
BALLS FOR CATHULU (2013)
A pentagram shaped pinball game emblazoned with fluorescent graphics by the Rev Kriss Hades depicting the lord of the deep ones. A multiplayer pinball game with five players stationed at each of the stars five points. The outer triangular walls of the star are made from ten guitars with their fret boards facing inward into the playfield, while in the central pentagon ten pop bumpers are connected to a drum machine. These are all connected to various audio effects triggered by targets positioned throughout the game. So when the balls bounce off the strings distorted open tunings are produced while the pop bumpers accompany the din with a chaotic drum solo.
PINBALL PIANOLA (2012)
A Frankenstein experiment, combining the greatest musical invention of all time, the Piano; with the coolest amusement machines ever conceived; Pinball, to create an interactive sound installation like no other; ‘Pinball Pianola’ a musical device constructed by replacing the keyboard, hammers and front panelling of an upright piano, with a pinball cabinet butted up perpendicular against its exposed strings. Embracing high and low culture this instrument allows virtuosos and wizards alike to pit their skills in a game where musical compositions are created as metallic balls jettisoned into the game clash with the pianos resonating wires to make what Wired magazine called “terrible, beautiful music”.
