This exhibition consists of a group of works created using mathematical algorithms, music programming and 3D architectural data, which are installed in each space of "VS". Daito Manabe emphasizes that exploring the relationship between mathematics and music is the basis of his artistic activities. One of the sources of influence is the "Music and Architecture" (1971) by the contemporary Greek composer Yannis Xenakis. Xenakis is an experimental and innovative work of architect Le Corbusier in collaboration with architects at Expo 58. This pioneering expression can be said to be the origin of media art, in which the entire space is filled with organic light, color, video, rhythm and electroacoustics. The exhibition “Continuum Resonance” makes full use of PolyNodes (2024), a groundbreaking 3D sound software developed by Manabe in collaboration with Sinan Bokesoy (artist/composer). The software allows you to freely design and intuitively represent the movement and changes of sound in 3D space. By dynamically controlling the position, intensity and timbre of sound in space, and changing the visual elements accordingly, we have created an immersive experience that merges sound and visual elements. This allows the audience to experience audiovisual space like never before.
