Ⅰ.Data Permeating —— Ryoji Ikeda China Premiere Audiovisual concert (live performance) + New work Schedule: 19th September, 2007 VIP Opening Evening Audiovisual concert (live performances): First: C4I (45 minutes) Second: datamatics [ver.1.0] (30 minutes) 20th to 23rd, September, 2007 New work exhibition: The New York Times Producer： As one of the special exhibitions in Art Beijing 2007 contemporary art fair, ‘Data Permeating’ forces on those new media works that re-write and re-figure our reality via digital information technology, as well as human being’s perception and recognition experience come from the atmosphere where the real and the virtual are confused and bewildered by such new media works. As a solo presentation of Japan’s artist Ryoji Ikeda’s works, ‘Data Permeating’ shows artist’s audiovisual concert -- C4Iand datamatics [ver.1.0], which belong to his latest body of work, datamatics series; and a new video installation ‘The New York Times’ produced in 2007. Those works unite moving image, electronic sound and other kinds of new media art technologies; use data as their theme and material to explore the ways in which abstracted views of reality – data – are used to encode and understand the world. Each work tries to explore the potential to perceive the data and touch the threshold of one’s perception and recognition of data. As Japan’s leading electronic composer and new media artist, Ryoji Ikeda has been hailed by critics as one of the most radical and innovative contemporary composers for his live performances, sound installations and album releases. Ikeda has exhibited and performed at many of the world's leading festivals and venues, such as Centre Pompidou (2001 and 2002) and Tate Modern Turbine Hall (2006).However, his works and performances have never been experienced in China on a full-scale. As one of the most potential Asian contemporary art fairs and one of the biggest Asian art resource integration bases, Art Beijing 2007 will firstly introduce this artist to China on a fully integrated and big scale --Ryoji Ikeda’s both new media work and audiovisual concert (live performance) will be presented in Art Beijing 2007’s special solo exhibition ‘Date Permeating’. By then, on Art Beijing 2007’s VIP preview opening night, there will be Ryoji’s audiovisual concert, including his two live performances - C4I (45 minutes) and datamatics[ver.1.0](30 minutes) which will touch the threshold of one’s perception and recognition. Meantime, Ryoji’s new work ‘The New York Times’ (2007) will firstly present in Art Beijing 2007 ‘Date Permeating’ from 20th to 23rd September. The work is an audiovisual installation, which will be heightening and intensifying the viewer’s perception and total immersion within the work by creating an unprecedented and unforgotten audiovisual experience. Qian Jing deciBel Trainee Producer, Arts Council England Artist Biography：Ryoji Ikeda Japan's leading electronic composer/artist, Ryoji Ikeda, focuses on the minutiae of ultrasonics, frequencies and the essential characteristics of sound itself. Since 1995, Ikeda has been intensely active through concerts, installations, and recordings, integrating sound, acoustics and sublime imagery. In the artist’s works, music, time and space are shaped by mathematical methods as Ikeda explores sound as sensation, pulling apart its physical properties to reveal its relationship with human perception. Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both visual and sonic media. Using computer and digital technologies to the utmost limit, his audiovisual concerts datamatics (2006 – present), C4I (2004 – present) and formula (2000 – 2006) suggest a unique orientation for our future multimedia environment and culture. His acclaimed installations data.tron [prototype] (2007), data.film nº1-a (2007), data.spectra (2005), spectra [for terminal 5, jfk] (2004), spectra II (2002) and db (2002) continue to diffuse Ikeda’s aesthetic of ‘ultra minimalism’ to the art world. Ikeda’s latest body of work, datamatics, is a long-term programme of moving image, sculptural, sound and new media works that use data as their theme and material to explore the ways in which abstracted views of reality – data – are used to encode, understand and control the world. He has been hailed by critics as one of the most radical and innovative contemporary composers for his live performances, sound installations and album releases. His albums +/- (Touch, 1996), 0°C (Touch, 1998) and matrix (Touch, 2000) pioneered a new minimal world of electronic music, employing sine waves, electronic "glitch" sounds, and white noise. Ikeda released his critically acclaimed, seventh solo album entitled dataplex (raster-noton), as part of the datamatics series, in 2005. The versatile range of Ikeda's research is demonstrated by his collaborations with Carsten Nicolai on the project cyclo. and with choreographer William Forsythe/Frankfurt Ballett, artist Hiroshi Sugimoto, architect Toyo Ito and artist collective Dumb Type, among others. Ikeda has exhibited and performed at many of the world's leading festivals and venues, including the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, 2005 (Melbourne); Centre Pompidou 2004 and 2001, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville 1999, and La Villette 2002 (all Paris); Sónar 1999 and 2006 (Barcelona); Architectural Association 2002, Barbican 2006, Hayward Gallery 2000, Millennium Dome 2000, Queen Elizabeth Hall 2000, Tate Modern Turbine Hall 2006 (all London); Auditorium Parco della Musica 2003 (Rome); ICC 1999 and 2005, Tokyo International Forum 2006 (Tokyo); Göteborg Biennial 2003 (Göteborg); Le Fresnoy 2007 (Tourcoing). In 2001, Ikeda was awarded the Ars Electronica Golden Nica prize in the digital music category and he was short-listed for a World Technology Award in 2003.

Ⅱ、Three Dimensional Viewing Mirror – International Visual Art Festival Organizer: Art Beijing 2007 Curator:Sun Ning Co-Institutes:Platform China, Galerie Grand Siecle, Taiwan, Gallery HYUNDAI, Korea Artists: B.M.Kamath（India） Bani Abidi（Pakistan） Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook （Thailand） Julain Rosefeldt (Germany) Chen Chieh-jen(Taiwan China) Chen Yung Hsien(Taiwan China) Wang Ya hui(Taiwan China) Lin Guanming(Taiwan China) Jin Shan(China mainland) Sun Xun(China mainland) Liang Wei (China mainland) Ma Yongfeng(China mainland) Zhou Tao(China mainland) The Executive Council of ArtBeijing 2007 in collaboration with Platform China will hold “Three Dimensional Viewing Mirror – International Visual Art Festival”, with participating artists from China, Asia, America and Europe. 1. Project Concept “Three Dimensional Viewing Mirror”, literally, is to observe from more than two-dimensional perspectives. Here, it means individualized viewpoint that progressively observes in thorough and detailed fashion, just like we achieve with human eyes, to reach visual conclusion, which is not a three-dimensional understanding of any particular detail but rather a recapitulation of the whole object. Therefore, it allows the viewers to form subjectively an idea of what they perceive. In this exhibition, we will focus our eyeballs on Asia, this specific region. Artists from different countries in Europe and Asia are invited to present their works through analogy and comparison. In this way, they will attempt to tap into the universality of the “Eastern Spirits” and potential correlations between cultures and languages, through their own understanding and expressions of specific Asian regions and cultural concepts. Each piece of artwork is an independent point; different art works may share links through analogy or comparison. They may be compared, contrasted, linked together from one point to another and then perhaps back to where it started. This is a three-dimensional viewing mirror in action. Although this is Eastern culture, discrepancies between localities and cultures are like different combinations of a kaleidoscope. From the three-dimensional perspective, they are different in numerous ways. However, the ultimate goal is to provide a horizontal vision and thinking through looking at one point from different angles. 2. Exhibition Layout Using containers and tarpaulin, an outline resembling a three-dimensional viewing mirror will be created to correlate what is placed inside with space, while audience would be able to make sense of the meanings of the motif in a more direct fashion. Ⅲ、VISIóN：A-Video Art Itinerant Exhibition organizers: Art Beijing 2007 Instituto Cervantes Pekín Artists: Alexandra Navratil Arturo Fuentes Blanca Casas Sebastián Gordín Rui Cal?ada Bastos Anna Gonzalez Suero Alejandro Vidal Paulina León Vasco Araujo Andrés Michelena María Ca?as Xoán Anleo VISIóN：A Introduction： The technological revolution of the mid 90s brought about substantial changes in video creation and began a process ofdemocratising the access to means of production and investigation for artists. The result of this has been a surge of visual artists using this medium. The availability of facilities means that their work is publicly visible and prolific. Video art is moving into a new cycle characterised by the greater conceptual maturity of its artists, a closer knowledge of workingtechniques, better use of digital editing tools and a more precise understanding of the digital spaces where all of these elementsconverge. We are seeing the end of experimenting as the only creative resource. Today s video artists enrich their work with formal,poetic and philosophical elements using new technical, narrative, aesthetic and conceptual communicative resources. The current generation of video artists grew up with TV, DVD players, cable TV, video games and Internet as part of their daily visualexperience. They understand video art as a tool with a capacity for communicating messages, carrying out social analysis and criticising the uniformity of commercial TV in a context of passive viewing dominated by conventional imagery, stereotypes andvoyeurism. Works have become shorter as a consequence of the use of richer, more complex narrative structures. These have opened up toallow contents that mix technology with more risky media, forming new hybrids of images. Melodramatic narrative and the recreation of apparently real spaces can be explained by the credibility they allow characters inserted into these stereotyped reconstructions of everyday life. The themes it deals with run from trivial ideas about different aspects of culture, to more critical, committed views of contemporary society. The self-involved, dispersed 90s have gone, giving way to an existential conceptualism. Questions about life are dealt with by the new generation of video artists with a surprising normality. Their daring is not at all formalistic, though there is an obsession with deconstruction as a method for investigating. Project： VISIóN：A- displays a set of Spanish and Latin American video art of recent production. The works are selected from Loop, the International Videoart Festival, celebrated in Barcelona. The exhibition will travel to Cervantes Institute of Beijing, Milan, Lyon and Casablanca. The project is a revision of the contents displayed at LOOP, an annual historical memory about last social and artistic events that conform the complexity of contemporary society. This review presents an accurate contextualization of the moment. It shows its conceptual and aesthetics referring, a reflexion about theoretical thinking and an approach to new narratives structures, in order to draw up the creative new proposals for the future. This artist’s selection is created considering essentials facts to make a coherent discourse. The first centred in the artist origin andbackground, another determined by the status of the creator, and the third which reflects the diversity of technical and narrative of the works, establishing a representative relation among the participants. Therefore, we offer a visual route through the different cultural realities that exist in contemporary societies. We pretend to revealto the interested public, the rich and complex multicultural context by showing all the works without a connecting thread. Most of the selected artists are multidisciplinary and use the video as a tool for the audio-visual communication, in works for monochannel or combined with other disciplines, media installation or objects creating installations of different complexities. VISIóN：A- works are short duration and can be reproduced by a monochannel projection in a large format screen. Ⅳ、Volkswagen “Art Car” Model Exhibition Special Sponsor of ArtBeijing From participatory works from all over China, Volkswagen will compare them and choose over 30 most outstanding pieces for its Art Car Exhibition. ArtBeijing will, fully in line with Volkswagen ideology, specially invite professional space designers to present a fantastic exhibition of the 30 or so outstanding model pieces and give participants a perfect visual feast.
