UNFOLD REVIEW

Ryoichi Kurokawa: unfold exhibition trailer from FACT on Vimeo.
In Ryoichi Kurokawa's latest exhibition in Liverpools FACT Kurokawa explores a sensory celestical experience in which users to interact with the exhibition through a fully immersive journey through the evolutionary experience of the solar system. It's an exciting, incising and informative experience that seeks to display it's factual subject through a time lapse.

This work is a collaborative practise between star mapper Vincent Minier and Kurokawa, where their ideas have formed a three screen panel, similar to a 3-D TV in its nature that it's curved allowing the audience to tilt back and fill their vision with fragmented visuals. The work aims to be as accurate as possible so it's categorised as being factual as opposed to interpretative. 
The colours within the works are to represent temperature, chemical formulation and composition and light density. 

The entire experience is relatively hypnotic and cinematic, the room is completely blackened out as your eyes adjust to the light. I found this work to be of interest as I explore more artwork with Synaesthesia and how our brains can calibrate colours in response to sounds. Overall it's indescribable as an experience as you go under and feel the colours fill your vision, as you focus in and out of a space-like visuals gliding across the screen. 

As a second part to the exhibition, in the second gallery is the more factual part of the exhibition which correlates the facts co-ordinated to the visuals you have just seen. There are HD videos of space landings on foreign planets, which bring in the element of the celestial nature. It's combining two disciplines of science and it's factual elements with art, which is sensual and considered a form of expression to the artists eye. We feel very much so a part of both as we undertake facts, colours, sounds of very accurate data.
