the young japanese artist nibo lives and works in tokyo/japan where he also has his own label “n160”. since 1997, he has been working on sound and visual projects where he puts special interest on scientific mathematical features.
his release on raster-noton is a macintosh programmed mixed mode cd connecting audio and visual components. minimal digital sounds are transformed into images which are generated from the sound waves. geometric forms get their parameters directly from the audio signals.
raster-noton's idea was to document this basic working concept because it shows the current aesthetic, multimedial and technical level of these approaches. even though his release follows the tradition of ikeda's and nicolai's live performance work, nibo is part of the japanese generation that seems to have found their own way to work with sound and image.
