Ryoji Ikeda

Teatre Grec, Barcelona

Following the launch of his public installation spectra [barcelona], Ryoji Ikeda presents two performances of test pattern [live set] at the Grec Barcelona and Sonar Festivals. 'test pattern [live set]' was created after Ikeda's solo show at YCAM in 2008. The work presents flickering black and white imagery which floats and convulses in darkness to a stark and powerful, highly synchronised soundtrack. A real-time computer programme converts Ikeda's audio signal patterns into tightly synchronised barcode patterns on screen. The velocity of the moving images is ultra-fast, some hundreds of frames per second, so that the work provides a performance test for the audio and visual devices, as well as a response test for the audience's perceptions.
