In 1999, the two artists initiated the joint project cyclo., which is devoted to the visualization of sound. In their shared work, they generate new hybrid forms of audiovisual art and expand the possibilities of digital technology.

The project's first publication is cyclo. id, a book and included CD-ROM that offer a multimedia and interactive documentation of the audiovisual material that Nicolai and Ikeda have collected, researched, and created since they began working together. The featured images are formed by the metering of sound bits that have been selected by the artists with meticulous care according to their acoustic and illustrative potential.

We will have a very limited amount of copies of cyclo. id on sale at Gestalten Space on November 3, signed by both Ryoji Ikeda and Carsten Nicolai. The event will also launch a Gestalten exclusive, A0 format limited edition "cyclo. baseliner 128 sec" fine art print - signed and numbered by the artists.
