ヘルシンキの美術館で見てきました。 こんなに遠いところで衝撃を受けるとは。 日本人として誇らしかったです。

[@dawnwatching6382]

Those two people standing there silently watching just adds so much to the video honestly

[@UntitledKirk]

This is simply incredible. I've never seen art like this, and on such a massive scale...

[@fairestlotus]

This is probably the most important piece of art that I'll ever see

[@everythingisfake7555]

Why is it important to you?

[@fairestlotus]

@everythingisfake7555 put simply, 2 years when I saw this I had a very myopic understanding of technology and its future, alongside its potential. I did, however, deeply understand how data collection and analysis worked. I saw this and kind of understood everything at once. ------------ In my opinion, what I saw here was processing swaths of data on a microbial scale and looking for patterns in increasingly dense samples, either of the world itself, or the Oort Cloud (cooler in my head). It could be interpreted as a large-scale effort to discover other human beings. At that point, a claim can be made that the artistic metaphor in this is the primal need to connect with others made into a digitally industrialized force. It's invasive, relentless and efficient. It is the framework of the human mind immortalized. It left an effect on me, and I got into cybersecurity, Linux and all, soon after. My love for technology after this video somewhat alienated me from people, but I've since found a good network. I'm happy someone asked the question. Never thought anyone would. Although, had you asked it back then, I probably wouldn't have had the answer so soon. I just knew something was changing.

[@everythingisfake7555]

@ Please forgive me, but I can’t understand what you are saying; you are too smart for me as I am, friend. May peace be with you and within you.

[@fairestlotus]

@@everythingisfake7555 basically it's just highly relevant to technological trends in my eyes.

[@everythingisfake7555]

@@fairestlotus You’ve had to reduce your well written response to something completely generic and vague now 😔, argh - I hate it when I cannot understand others, but I had to be honest. Peace be with you.

This is how I imagine an omniscience AI would view life. From individual cells to the universe, through the lens of data.

[@teodoratodorova5043]

Thanks for uploading, so I could refresh my memories from this incredible video and sound experience at the Arte Biennale in 2019.

[@JacobPadlock]

This fills me with what I can only describe as an existential calmness. None of this shit matters and that's OK!

From cave paintings to this, artistic evolution of humanity is mind-bending.

[@raptorswire7212]

I have been there! This gallery in Helsinky was incredible and hypnotizing! I have never seen anything like that, but it was a great brain food!! Need more! And need better resolujtion to download tbh :D

[@shastaweston]

Visualizing how much mass the universe is really is wonderful and impossibly beautiful 4:13 sounds like the bridge of the Enterprise.

[@Meerzie]

[@losmi3573]

How do you even create something like this.. where do you start?

[@cds6643]

How create THIS sequences?

[@olivedotcomm]

!!!

[@rr7firefly]

Wouldn't it be nice to know what is going on here? It's visually intriguing and there must be some generating strategy for the beautiful imagery on that wall. Who is the artist and where is he/she from? how are the images produced?

[@vadimislearningguitar4977]

hahahahahahahhahaha Ryoji Ikeda from japan - images in sync with music .....

[@kmal16]

He lives in Paris, as far as I know. He's lived and worked there for a long time. His music is rooted in electronic minimalism, although that term might not be appropriate. But he, and Alva Noto who has worked with composer/pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto, Richard Cartier and Taylor Dupree took the minimalistic aspects of electronic music, ambient and drone to new directions in the early 2000's and have continued in that trajectory ever since. A big inspiration to many ambient and electronic artists. Ryoji Ikeda's interviews are quite interesting as he speaks on the tying of the human element with the computerized medium, which is essential to his work and is able to creatively articulate some of nature's inner complexities. His visual work in person, I've only heard is a very unique experience to be immersed in.

[@rr7firefly]

@@kmal16 Thank you very much for your comment. I appreciate that you took the time to respond.

[@kmal16]

@@rr7firefly You're more than welcome. It was my pleasure. Ryoji's work was in the beginning just a mere curious interest which gradually evolved into becoming a fan of his work. You would also really enjoy Alva Noto's work with pianist composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (David Byrne, David Sylvian, The Revenant film). Cheers and have a great end of weekend.

[@rr7firefly]

@@kmal16 Thanks again. I'm wishing you a much better coming year. We've all had to curtail activities and expectations. I look to the New Year with hope.
