Ryoji Ikeda announced winner of the 9th Nam June Paik Prize
Almine Rech and the Nam June Paik Art Center (Director Namhee Park) are pleased to announce that the Jury of the 9th Nam June Paik Prize has selected Ryoji Ikeda (b. 1966, Japan) as the winner of the 9th Nam June Paik Prize.
One of Japan’s leading composers and artists, he has explored the essential characteristics of sound itself and the distinctive qualities of visuals realized as light, by means of mathematical precision and aesthetics. His practice convincingly bridges visual art and sonic art, and he has continued to present sensory and immersive live performances and installations that elaborately orchestrate sound, physical phenomena, and mathematical notions.
