Ryoji Ikeda is a god in my world. I steal shit from him (stylistically) all the time these days and this one was a deliberate attempt to do something I saw of his. Of course it doesn't hold a candle to the master, and after a while of working with it, I stopped aping and started doing it as if it wasn't a study. So it's a study that left class early. But it still is clearly HOMAGE.
Mr. Ikeda just won the 9th Nam June PAIK Prize. I immediately thought, really? 8 artists before him? Now I have to go find them and rip them off too.
Made me feel like I was on in the cockpit of the Discovery One.
