Sleeve Design for Ryoji Ikeda

Ryoji Ikeda – test pattern [N°12] at Store Studios
Comprised of visual patterns that are generated in real-time from sound waveforms, Ikeda’s test pattern [N˚12] is the latest iteration of his test pattern project, begun in 2006, in which he converts data (from music, text, photo and video) into monochrome binary patterns. Enveloping the viewer in a disorientating, highly-charged, kinetic environment, Ikeda’s site-specific installation involves intense flickering black and white imagery, which appears to float and convulse in the darkness to a stark and highly synchronised soundtrack.
