Abstract The Japanese multimedia artist Ryoji Ikeda’s work can be interpreted as a contact between mediums, but also as a contact between disciplines. Most of his video installations are based on concepts borrowed from the field of mathematics, physics or information technology. In this paper I will examine Ikeda’s audiovisual installations by presenting these multimedial installations as possible methods of visualizing digital data in the context of contemporary art. Considering their digital and abstract nature, these works can also be analysed as unique audiovisual environments built from different media based on the same data-sets, offering the possibility of immersion. By unfolding the medial relations within Ikeda’s work I will try to demonstrate how the combination of sight and sound creates the inter-sensual experience of getting in touch with digital data.

大数据的景象和声音：Ryoji Ikeda 的沉浸式装置

摘要 日本多媒体艺术家池田亮司的作品可以理解为媒介之间的接触，也可以理解为学科之间的接触。他的大部分视频装置都是基于从数学、物理或信息技术领域借来的概念。在本文中，我将通过将这些多媒体装置作为在当代艺术背景下可视化数字数据的可能方法来研究池田的视听装置。考虑到它们的数字和抽象性质，这些作品也可以被分析为基于相同数据集的不同媒体构建的独特视听环境，提供沉浸式的可能性。
