Ryoji Ikeda - Superposition 2013

As part of its digital programming, the MAC Montreal presents superposition, a performance by Japanese electronic-music composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda. Recorded OCT 2013 at Shunjuza Theater, Kyoto, JAPAN Superposition is a project about the way we understand the reality of nature on an atomic scale and is inspired by the mathematical notions of quantum mechanics. Performers will appear in Ikeda’s work for the first time, performing as operator/conductor/observer/examiners. All the components on stage will be in a state of superposition; sound, visuals, physical phenomena, mathematical concepts, human behaviour and randomness – these will be constantly orchestrated and de-orchestrated simultaneously in a single performance piece.
