[biography]
Ikeda began his activity as a sound artist and DJ in 1990.
In 1994 he began to work as the composer for the multimedia art
group Dumb Type. Since 1995 he has been intensely active in sound
art through concerts (including a recent performance at Centre
Pompidou in Paris), sound installations and recordings; the
albums +/- (1996), 0? (1998) and the recent Matrix(2001) have been
hailed by critics as the most radical and innovative examples of
contemporary electronic music. With Carsten Nicolai he works on the
recording project Cyclo, for which a new CD has recently been released.
In 2000 Ikeda created the sound installation Matrix for the Millennium
Dome in London and Matrix (for and anechoic room) for the exhibition
Sound Art- Sound as Media at the ICC in Tokyo. He has participated in
the important group show of sound art Sonic Boom, curated by David Toop
at the Hayward Gallery in London. The versatile range of his research
is demonstrated by the recent collaboration with the Japanese architect
Toyo Ito, presented at the Louisiana Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, in
the exhibition Vision and Reality (2000).
