Paralel Head
Ryoichi Kurokawa
Parallel Head is composed of filmed scenes, animation, field recordings, and generative audio material. Ryoichi Kurokawa builds up a dense, multi-layered, yet delicate immersive experience of light and sound. In his precise audiovisual compositions, he seeks to unify the perception of sound and image and to invoke a synesthetic audiovisual impulse. Parallel Head tests the boundaries of cinematic experience and explores a possible extension of our perception by means of a unique audiovisual language. The work has been presented as an installation and a performance. transmediale.09 will present Parallel Head live on multiple screens and in surround sound.
