Berlin’s Kraftwerk gallery is currently hosting an exhibition entitled data.anatomy[civic] – a vast, 3-screen audiovisual installation based on the data set of the latest Honda Civic.

Last year, Honda approached Japanese artist, Ryoji Ikeda to create something based on the CAD information of the newly designed Civic and to work in collaboration with Mitsuru Kariya, the lead developer on the car. Given Ikeda’s previous audiovisual projects using around data and mathematics to create electronic sounds, he seems like an obvious choice for the partnership.

It took five architects and computer programmers four months to install data.anatomy[civic] into the imposing, concrete gallery that functioned as a power plant in the 1960s.

The result is an utterly immersive and captivating representation of a tangible object executed with cosmic beauty.
