one of the sickest artist ive seen alognside Ryochi Kurokawa , Takami Nakamoto and Herman Kolgen!

[@daniel.aagentah]

I was first introduced to Ryoji's work just over a year ago. And since then, have been delving into the various works. One thing that stands out for me is the profound commitment to this very distinct relationship between data & visuals. The level of detail is incomprehensible, and in turn this creates a peripheral effect that few artists achieve. Inspiring stuff.

[@tonymuller7181]

This is freaking cool

[@OneMeInMyself]

ryoji ikeda is such an inspiration!

I don't have epilepsy, but I feel like I'm going to have a seizure anyway from all these damn strobing lights.

[@gogogaga3974]

RYOJI IKEDA IS JUST THE BEST LOVE HIM🤴🏻

[@tipatius]

I've seen this artist's pieces of work in Helsinki Amos Rex for many times and each time I've been amazed! Actually, I am sad the exhibition will end and I cannot go to watch it anymore.

[@ElJaf17]

in 2006 when i saw him you could not find anything online so easily as now. so nice to see more material. illnever forget my tshirt rumbling against my chest because of some really low frequencies, i.e. dirty bass :D

[@-H--zf4fe]

Living legend.

[@margaretmusicmore]

This is so beautiful and intense! I’d love to see it in person some day!

[@bilguuntuvshinbold8425]

You really should see it live. I had the privilege to see his work in Venice on huge screen installation. It was superb.

[@julianray]

WoW, on so many levels!

真面目な学部生のノートのような物理学メモ

[@andrewlitvinov7266]

I cannot get over the fact that he just pronounced data as “de-ta”.

[@ElJaf17]

every english speaking country and every city in the uk say it differently from one another too :P

[@Lowlowski]

try not to get epilepsy challenge.

[@cellytron]

I don’t know if you should be allowed to be a curator if you can’t pronounce “Ryoji”. Pretty sure it’s not “ro-ji”, Ralph.
