For this project, we were tasked with creating 4 posters and a 15-second video to advertise a fictional series of 4 actual Ryoji Ikeda installations. Ryoji Ikeda, a Japanese audiovisual artist, utilises sounds in various raw forms and lights to create large installations. We, in turn, were to interpret his work and use original imagery to fulfil the brief.

​

I focused on Ikeda's use of large light panels as the main graphical element in my poster series. Each poster features a light panel in a dark room (typical of Ikeda's installations), illustrated with graphics inspired by the works they are advertising. In additional to that, for the graphics used for the light panels in posters 2 and 3, the thickness of the cubes and lines are affected by binary coding. I stripped down the textual information in the posters to their binary codes, basically variables of 0s and 1s, where 0s indicate a thinner cube or line, and 1s indicate a thicker one.
