About Ryoichi Kurokawa–
Ryoichi Kurokawa is an audiovisual artist living in Osaka (Japan). His works take on multiple forms like screening works, recordings, installation and live performance. He composes time-based sculpture with digital generated materials and field recorded sources, and the minimal and the complexities coexist there. He accepts sound and imagery as a unit not as separately, and constructs very exquisite and precise computer based works with the audiovisual language. That shortens mutual distance, the reciprocity and the synchronization of sound and visual composition. In 1999 he started creating video and sound works and presenting audiovisual work, video installation, and screening in various art, music and film festivals. At the same time, started performing audiovisual live and released CDs and DVDs. And also performed live-visual for Sketch Show at SONAR 2003 [ES] and Cybersonica/ICA[UK], and for HUMAN AUDIO SPONGE at SONAR 2004 [ES].
