The architecturally crafted precision of his sens itively synched fragmentary images placed side by side on our retina\, ten ds to displace the persistence of blurred memory under the effect of bound less luminosity.\n\nAudio and visual concordance are key in Kurokawa’s w orks. He considers both the audio and visual element as different vectors of a unique piece and insists that they have to flow together to enter a c ollision at the same time. As can be viewed from his works\, Kurokawa stat es that nature is his principle source of inspiration. All of his works li e in this notion of hybridization. Between analogue and digital\, but also between time and space\, the full and the fragmentary\, the simple and th e complex\, the reactive and the contemplative\, the auditory and visual." \n\nIn recent years\, his works have been shown across the world at intern ational festivals and museums including Tate Modern\, Centre Pompidou\, Ve nice Biennale\, Minsheng Art Museum\, Barbican Centre and Sonar. In 2010\, he was awarded the Golden Nica at Prix Ars Electronica in the Digital Mus ics &\; Sound Art category.\nAbout subassemblies\nIn subassemblies Ku rokawa uses 3D data and thermal imaging\, combined with film\, to explore the relationship between nature and the remains of human-made architecture . He creates layers of order and disorder while exposing the force of both nature and art.\n\n“Trees and rocks\, corridors and rooms melt and shap eshift and finally merge in a captivating visual rush that feels like a re al glimpse of the art of the future… Illusion is back. Visual sensation is back. O brave new world…” Guardian\n\n\nAbout Myriam Bleau\nMyriam Bleau is a composer\, digital artist and performer based in Montréal\, Ca nada.\n\nUsing music and sound\, she creates gestural electronic music per formances\, audiovisual interfaces\, video works and installations that ar ticulate sound\, light\, movement and images. Her work investigates perfor mance\, both as a codified cultural manifestation\, and as an embodied re- enactment of symbolic systems through human and non-human agencies\, inclu ding machine learning.\n\nHer work has been recognised and presented inter nationally\, at festivals such as Prix Ars Electronica Japan Media Arts Pr ize\, Sónar\, MUTEK and Transmediale.\n\nMyriam returns to ACCA following the hugely successful presentation of her project Ballistics in 2019\nA bout Unsculpt\nBased on the methodology of speculative architecture and i nspired by the writings of Donna Haraway – a prominent American scholar in the history of consciousness\, science and technology – Unsculpt is an audiovisual performance exploring urban and natural scenes created by humans and machines.\n\nGenerated with artificial intelligence\, synthetic landscapes emerge as fragments of dreams\, faded postcards from an imagin ed future. Human and natural constructions – mountains\, seashores\, sky scrapers and facades – are digitally sampled\, instantiated and assemble d in animated collages. A fleeting materiality emerges\, machine-learning allowing for a slow metamorphosis between textures and materials\, from ma rble to silk\, from concrete to flesh.\n\n\n*Standing audience\, not seate d* ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://xyzbrighton.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/ 09/Ryoichi-Kurokawa-and-Myriam-Bleau.jpg CATEGORIES:Live Music LOCATION:Attenborough Centre\, Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts U niversity of Sussex Gardner Centre Road\, Brighton\, East Sussex\, BN1 9RA \, South East\, United Kingdom GEO:50.86709;-0.087914 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS= Attenborough Centre for th e Creative Arts University of Sussex Gardner Centre Road\, Brighton\, East Sussex\, BN1 9RA\, South East\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE =Attenborough Centre:geo:50.86709,-0.087914 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
