data.anatomy [civic] is a new audiovisual installation by the acclaimed Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda, arising from a unique collaboration with Mitsuru Kariya, the development leader of the new Honda Civic car. Exhibited as a 3-screen video projection, data.anatomy [civic] immerses viewers in an intricate yet vast audiovisual composition derived from the entire data set of the car.
It opened at MUMA (Kraftwerk) Berlin on April 19th 2012.
The aesthetic experience offered by Ikeda is built from his abstraction of the initial intricacy present in the makeup of the vehicle. The artist notes, ‘a civic consists of thousands and thousands of tiny, tiny parts, but I saw a certain beauty in that. it’s like a human , there are so many organs in it and that inspired me. My installation will reveal the richness and beauty of the ephemeral concepts that are embodied physically in the car itself’.
