Ryoji Ikeda at the Surrey Art Gallery
September 23, 2009
Four new exhibitions: Ryoji Ikeda, Infinite Egress, Arcade and Optic Ear
Please join us at the Surrey Art Gallery for the opening reception party on
September 26, 7–9pm.
Ryoji Ikeda: data.tron/data.scan
Ryoji Ikeda’s data.tron/data.scan is an audiovisual installation where visitors will experience the vast universe of data in the infinite between 0 and 1. 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. These two works are part of Ikeda’s datamatics project, a long–term programme of moving image, sculptural, sound and new media works that take data as their theme and material, exploring the ways in which abstracted views of reality – data – are used to encode, understand and control the world. The exhibition is produced in conjunction with the 10th Anniversary of the Surrey Art Gallery’s TechLab digital art residency and exhibition program. data.scan is co-produced by Surrey Art Gallery and Forma (forma.org.uk). data.tron is co-produced by Le Fresnoy, Studio national des arts contemporains and Forma. Continues to December 13

Infinite Egress
Considered by many to be the ultimate abstraction, the concept of the infinite has compelled many modern and contemporary artists to try to capture its essence. Infinite Egress presents work from two recent moments of heightened interest in the infinite: the beginning of the 1970s and the last half of this decade. Borrowing from visual languages associated with fashion and commercial display, entertainment and spectacle, spirituality and transcendental experience, optics and architecture, the artworks presented here consider the concept of infinity in relation to the body and its movement through space. Exhibiting artists: David Dyment & Roula Partheniou, Babak Golkar, Robert Kleyn, Lucy Pullen, and Robert Smithson. Continues to December 13
Arcade: Kwantlen Fine Arts Faculty
Inspired by the arcade-like surroundings of the Arts Centre lobby, faculty from Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Fine Arts department present drawings, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, videos and installations that surprise, excite and engage. Exhibiting artists: Gabriela Aceves, Kent Anderson, Ana Black, Eyrne O. Donahue, Sibeal Foyle, Robert Gelineau, Jake Hill, Kitty Leung, David Lloyd, Paulo Majano, Scott McBride, PLAID: Nancy Duff & Alison MacTaggart, Monique Silverman, Ken Singer. Continues to November 1
Optic Ear
Building on the legacy of 1960s Op Art this exhibition presents three works of media art (film, video and computer graphics) that strip down their respective mediums to their bare essentials revealing the close link between sound, image and geometrical abstraction in time-based media from the 1970s. The artists in this exhibition are Norman McLaren, Steina and Woody Vasulka, and Elizabeth Vander Zaag. Continues to December 13.
Ryoji Ikeda, Infinite Egress and Optic Ear are curated by Jordan Strom, Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at the Surrey Art Gallery.
