ZKM Karlsruhe Ryoji Ikeda: micro macro - Documentation of the exhibition As a prologue to the exhibition »Infosphere«, the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe presented Ryoji Ikeda's »micro macro«. The Japanese artist uses data, light and sound based on mathematical methods and physical theories to create immersive and spacious installations. At the ZKM, Ikeda worked site-specifically and used the monumental architecture of the former munitions factory for a temporally and spatially complex presentation. His new large-scale installations »the planck universe [micro]« and »the planck universe [macro]«, commissioned by the ZKM, as well as the two works from the series »supersymmetry« (2014), are closely synchronized, interwoven and counterpointed. They transformed the entire exhibition into one large, audiovisual symphony.
