About the edition
Cyclo. is an artistic collaboration between Carsten Nicolai (Germany) and Ryoji Ikeda (Japan) two of the world's leading exponents of experimental sound art.
Nicolai is best known for works that explore the areas between art and science. By engineering situations in which sound or light frequencies can become both visible and audible at the same time, he highlights the intersections of the human senses. Ikeda is known as a leading avant-garde writer of minimalist electronic compositions exploring the raw physical characteristics of sound.
During their time at DCA for Kill Your Timid Notion in 2003, Nikolai and Ikeda created cyclo.sonotecture; a screenprint originating from images collected during their installation and live performance using real-time sound visualisation. The resulting print captures, in a highly subtle way, this event. Using close tonal variations of matt and pearlised inks, they created an elusive and shifting image that explores the boundaries of our sensory perceptions.
