Marisa Olson - Golden Oldies




"In this performance video, I attempted to instigate communication between a CD boombox, child's record player, and various defunct media: vinyl records, VHS tapes, cassette tapes, and CDs. Like the garbage that piles up as we upgrade our phones and computers, the detritus accumulated in these efforts gets blindly swept aside in this ultimately fruitless effort."

Ryoji Ikeda



Ryoji Ikeda is claimed to be "Japan's leading electronic composer and visual artist." Ikeda's installations and performances are strengthened by their attention to mathematical compositions and aesthetics. I admire his work for its immersive capabilities. Ikeda's use of light and projection appear to transform and manipulate spaces, as well as and defy their dimensions. You should check out more of Ryoji's work here: http://www.ryojiikeda.com/
