Ryoji Ikeda ultratronics [live set] / CORIN presents DIWA [live AV]

Thu 28 Aug

The future isn’t coming – it’s already here.

Two visionaries of live AV bend time and space in one transcendent night of sensory immersion.

In this Australian debut, Ryoji Ikeda unveils ultratronics – a meticulously engineered realm where data, light and sound are stripped to their mathematical core and rebuilt. With surgical precision, the Japanese master of sonic minimalism transforms code into taught environments that blur the line between human and machine.

Ikeda is joined by Filipina–Australian producer, composer and performer CORIN, presenting the world premiere of DIWA – a new work rooted in Filipino skyworld myths and ancestral cosmologies. In collaboration with VFX artist Tristan Jalleh, CORIN conjures an uncanny audiovisual landscape where folklore and futurism collide.

Presented side-by-side, ultratronics and DIWA form an unmissable experience – a collision of sight and sound where light fractures, noise engulfs and myth takes shape.

Ryoji Ikeda stands in the middle of the stage, there is a blurred crowd at the bottom of the image. One of his works appears in the background as he appears to be mid-performance. He is wearing an "ultratronics" tee shirt, the text is in white on a black tee. He is also wearing a black cap and his face is not visible.

Corin stands looking to the left in front of a mirror. The entire image has a blue tone and a film grain style. She is wearing a leather jacket.

The nearly hypnotic nature of the composition and the accompanying visuals almost made one lose oneself in the moment.
