Utilizing analog modular synthesizers and modern digital audio technology, Kikù will bring to sonic life a diverse range of influences in the exhibition, from the precise craftsmanship of Meiji cloisonné, to the colorful layering of woodblock prints, to the repeating patterns and tesselating shapes found within ceramic vases in the exhibition.
