 Finally available (although this is an individually numbered limited edition of 3000 copies only for the world), "Formula" is an amazing multimedia release from Ryoji Ikeda, bringing together a pristine 95 page book illustrating and depicting some of the installation pieces Ikeda has been involved with - the first complete monograph about this artist's seminal work, plus a comprehensive DVD companion that covers Ikeda's landmark concerts and installations; and his collaborations with, amongst others, celebrated artist/musician Carsten Nicolai, acclaimed performance group Dumb Type and famous architect Toyo Ito. All of the dvd content is only available here, with a 35 minute full video documentation of formula [prototype] concert filmed in Tokyo and 8 sound pieces from installation works. With superb attention to detail and layout, the publication documents the artist's latest projects and includes brand-new artwork especially produced for the book. This is not only the most complete Ryoji Ikeda catalogue, formula is an intimately-scaled minimalist artwork in itself, and an object of desire. How the book is held may cause the numbers and text, picked out in clear varnish on white page, to shimmer. Every aspect of look and feel has been considered by the artist\s critical eye. His superlative production values are ever-present in the quality of the images and the finish. Highly recommended.Year: 2004 Country: Japan,UK Genre: Microwave, Glitch, Experimental Playtime: 01:05:48 Video:[/b[ XviD,MPEG-4V,2608 Kbps,640x464,29.970 fps,Progressive
