Ryoji Ikeda
I feel really inspired by the gallery installations by Ryoji Ikeda and my proposal for the exhibition will be highly influenced by this line of work. Ikeda’s sound/audiovisual installations are screen-based works featuring generative visuals and glitchy experimental sounds and music. These installations work on screens and projector and this will be the main material that I will use for my installation, although these installation probably fall more conveniently on the black cube than in the white one I think that is a very interesting kind of sound installation. Rioji has exhibited at such iconic places like 180 Strand in London or Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Tundra
Tundra is an amazing collective of multimedia artists performing audiovisual installations around the globe, their installations and performances feature lighting, screens and other physical elements like fans, as we can see in their famous installation “Row”. I really enjoy this kind of work and I’ve been lucky to attend in person to one of their installations in London. These artworks are involved in a high level of research and professionalism but I would like to have these kind of works as a reference for my future gallery work. I think that the light and the sound play and important role in their installations and this is something that I will take into account for my work at Gallery 46.
