Data-Cosm [n°1] ↗

Checked out Ryoji Ikeda's new installation. It had all the usual elements of data + mathematical abstraction + large scale audio-visual aesthetics. But I've some tensions I sit with. The work is stunning, but also intense to the point of being a visual assault. It is meticulously engineered for scale and spectacle but all that abstraction makes me wonder what is anchoring all this and what should I exactly walk away with? It is is beautiful but also inaccessible and obscure.
