Published by 180 Studios in 2025, this limited edition booklet accompanies data-cosm [n°1], the monumental new installation commissioned and produced by 180 Studios as part of their long-running creative partnership with Ryoji Ikeda - a collaboration that has spent more than a decade pushing at the boundaries of sound, light, and human perception. Conceived as both microscope and cosmos, data-cosm [n°1] is a total sensory environment in which the mathematical fabric of nature becomes something that can be felt as much as understood. On the afternoon of its world premiere on October 13, 2025, Ikeda joined Philippe Vergne, Director of the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, and Sean Bidder, Creative Director of The Vinyl Factory and curator at 180 Studios, for a wide-ranging conversation before a live audience. That exchange forms the core of this publication.

Printed across 36 pages in A5 format with a gloss UV cover, the booklet offers a rare and extended encounter with one of the most rigorous and uncompromising artists working today - someone who has arrived at a practice of radical clarity entirely on his own terms. "I've no master or teacher, I'm totally free. I'm so lucky because I have nothing to lose."

Limited to 1000 copies worldwide.
