Kyoka & Shohei Fujimoto

<span class="not-set">(not set)</span>

Kyoka is a Japanese sound and installation artist, electronic music producer and DJ based in Berlin whose practice is constantly renewed by explorations and experiments. The first female artist signed to the iconic German experimental label Raster-Noton – home to artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, William Basinski and Ryoji Ikeda –, she released her first EP ISH in 2012 on the famed label. Since 2020, she has been experimenting with her ongoing project "New Music Syntax", combining music theory along with neuroscience to shed light on the interactions between sound and emotions.

Shohei Fujimoto is a Tokyo-based media artist that explores from a primitive perspective the perceptual experiences of essential nature. He seeks to precisely capture the data and facts behind a variety of phenomena and shapes. Fujimoto emphasizes the information, abstracts and then complicates it to create a sensorial experience with new properties, where minimal and organic attributes overlap.
