Walker Art Center Presents Immersive Digital and Live Performance Experience, Superposition, by Renowned Electronic Music/Visual Artist Ryoji Ikeda

A sound and music event that is simultaneously extraordinarily, mesmerically beautiful and also so radically disorientating that afterwards you feel as if the world has tilted to one side. Arts Desk

Eyes open and jaws drop during superposition, a state-of-the-art, immersive digital and live performance experience and the newest work by renowned electronic music/visual artist Ryoji Ikeda on FridaySaturday, October 2425, 8 pm in the William and Nadine McGuire Theater. Using a spectacular combination of synchronized video screens, real-time content feeds, digital sound sculptures, andfor the first time in Ikedas workhuman performers, superposition explores the conceptual world opened up by quantum theory. Viscerally thrilling music plunges the audience into the grey space between 0 and 1, true and false, where uncertainty and probability coexist. The powerful display of technology and art takes the spectator inside indescribable structures at the very foundation of all life.

Ikeda was a founder of the groundbreaking high-tech performance collective Dumb Type, which the Walker presented at the Guthrie Lab in 1999 and 2001.

Note: Performance contains strobe effects and high decibel levels. 90 minutes.
