Decryptopattern is a collaboration work of artists Daisuke Ishida and Noriko Yamaguchi.
The idea is to be able to grasp the truth behind the vast vortical information around us, through a graphical representation. Receiving news is part of our daily life. We can obtain updates even second by second through radio, TV, newspapers or news portal sites on the internet to know what is happening in the world. However this information is offered to us in one or more languages over text, audio, video, image and other media filtered by somebody. Daisuke Ishida believes that the facts about world incidents are not possible to be received without some form of filtering through newstellers, their thoughts, their experiences, their constraints and the incidents contexts. Therefore the duo presents us a possibility to understand media and to discover the abstract raw truth through aggregate information, Chladni patterns and Noriko Yamaguchi's twisting papers as a direct physical phenomena.
Noriko Yamaguchi lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Her work is informed by a background in dyeing and weaving. Not only is paper extremely accessible but it also brings us back down to earth, at a time when space and distance is losing in significance. Each of her installations are site specific, exploring both the space of the exhibition, the space she is in and the objects she is surrounded by. Noriko Yamaguchi is interested in contingency - both in terms of the materials used and in the act of creating. "Twisting paper" and other objects is very repetitive, yet in the very act of repetition, chance creates variation and intricacy - not unlike the rhythm of the everyday.
