toco toco - Season 1 Episode 7 Kyoka, electronic musician and artist
Kyoka is a musician who creates electronic music. She uses bass and high-pitched sounds in order to bring out the basses. She also creates works using light, reflections and colors where she tries to express the same emotions as with music. Every year, the ICC is hosting the OPEN SPACE exhibition. Today we are going to the 2014 edition. The ICC art center is a place specialized in what we call "multimedia arts". It is a place exhibiting art, but also all kind of technologies that are featured in modern art. ICC's goal is to globally show the relationship between art and technology. In this episode, Kyoka and Mr. Hatanaka, the chief curator at the ICC center are showing us several installations. The first installation is a setting called "video synthesiser" and was created in the 70s by Abe Shuya, the engineer who was working together Nam Jun Paik as part of his research in video art. Three oscilloscopes are connected to the synthesiser in order to interfere with the video signal and obtain multiple patterns and modifications. It is the same type of process as the one used in electronic music, but applied to video. The second installation introduced in this episode is the work of Shimizu Jio. It uses lasers' relflections on water. The third work is called "The Immortal", created by Cohen and Van Balen, two artists active in the United Kingdom. It is a visual and sound installation featuring a series of organ replacement machines. The fourth work we introduce is called "Cube". When we alter the shape of a cube on a computer, it can be done in the blink of an eye. This installation shows how it is done in the real world. Don't hesitate to go take a look at the ICC Art Center!
