the new work is an enhanced version of the audiovisual installation data.tron, where each single pixel of visual image is strictly calculated by mathematical principle, composed from a combination of pure mathematics and the vast sea of data present in the world. this latest version floods two giant screens with data, projected on the wall and the ground of Deep Space, thereby heightening and intensifiying your perception and total immersion within the work.
what is the number of numbers? how can we verify that the random is random? data.tron[8k enhanced version] is part of datamatics project, a series of experiments that explore such questions, physically and mathematically. you will experience the vast universe of data in the infinite between 0 and 1.
