CONTRAST presented the first solo exhibition "Waves and Particles" by Kyoto-based audiovisual artist suiteru from October 20th, Sunday to November 3rd, Sunday.
This exhibition showcased a series of audio-reactive works that blend the concepts of waves and particles, as well as the audio-reactive system itself.
The audio-reactive system is an interactive mechanism in which images react to music in real-time, and the music is played simultaneously. This real-time nature brought about a unique sensation of “playing the video” and evoked a new perceptual experience through the experience of the system.
In addition, the group of works created through them explored new forms of expression that combine waves and particles, such as incorporating wave-like objects into a particle system or scattering particles on the surface of a wave. By making parts of the work move faster or slower in time with sound, the artist attempted to provide an extraordinary sense of time in which sight and sound are linked.

suiteru
Artist living in Kyoto, Japan. He performs simultaneously by fusing electronic music using a drum computer and an audio-reactive visual generation system using visual programming languages.
Since 2021, he has been primarily active on Instagram, exploring the expression of an extraordinary sense of time using waves and particles.
He has an extensive track record both in Japan and abroad, including an invitation to participate in the American projection mapping festival "Digital Graffiti", and a collaboration with French "Maison Kitsuné".
In 2022, CONTRAST opened as a creative space in Yoyogi-Hachiman, Tokyo. The interior, based on a 45-year-old structure, consists of three floors under the concept of "reconstruction," and is managed by IN FOCUS, a digital branding studio that operates under the theme of "We propose new perspectives through a collective pursuit of digital excellence.".
The space not only serves as its own creative space but also aims to be widely open to the public, providing a space for continuous and experimental reconstruction by its users, breaking free from limitations.
Focusing on various forms of expression and encountering the creators who produce them, we will come to understand the importance of "CONTRAST = comparison" in our endeavors.
