One Sound Art Work’s Historical or Contemporary Context and Why it Interests Me


The Radar 
[fondation vasarely] by Ryoji Ikeda

“There, as noise and beeps coolly hum away, a feed of sonic information flowing like a river, circle and square seem not just convenient geometry but genuine signifier. From moments of sublime abstraction, they become discs of data, portals into a microscope and then a telescope, distant worlds and mapped moons and weather patterns and oscilloscopes.”

Cyril Meroni

•In this piece, sonic information flows like a river as noises and beeps hum coldly, when the screen appear with a telescope, distant worlds, mapped moons, weather patterns…… By this artwork “The Radar”, I finally realise that even with our short internet, even in this video, you might find yourself lost in your daydream.
