nD
2026"nD" is a diptych audiovisual performance piece and the third iteration of "cm:av_c," a project developed over many years. In this work, the phenomena of sound and vision, the modes of abstraction and concreteness, and the qualities of meaningfulness and meaninglessness are embodied in a continuous fluctuation between duality and non-duality. The diptych is not arranged simply to present opposition or difference, but as a site where perception oscillates between separation and inseparability. By treating and fusing sound and image at an abstract level, the piece creates an intense audiovisual experience that stimulates sight and hearing simultaneously. This pure audiovisual expression, stripped of meaning, liberates the audience from the constraints of interpretation and guides them toward a more direct, sensory experience. The "cm:av_c" project has been a long-standing pursuit since the early stages of Kurokawa's career and strongly reflects his unique and iconic artistic language. The first version premiered in 2005 and has since been presented worldwide, including at Tate Modern (UK), Ars Electronica (AT), and MUTEK (CA). The second version, "syn_ [ cm:av_c 2 ]," was released in 2011 and performed in over 20 countries in the following years. "nD [ cm:av_c 3 ]" represents the latest evolution of the project.
