Set within the expansive theater space of Box1000, “A/Visions 2” showcases world-class audiovisual performances at the forefront of sound, image, and technology.

Leading Polish pianist and composer Hania Rani appears as Chilling Bambino, her alter ego project born from a deep fascination with the Prophet synthesizer. Driven by dark-hued electronica and hypnotic rhythms, the performance weaves in the raw acoustic sound of an upright piano with its inner workings exposed, unfolding into a liberated and deeply expressive sonic experience.

Celebrating their 20th anniversary, Japanese instrumental band mouse on the keys expands the world of ambient music and techno-minimalism explored on their 2024 fourth album midnight into image and space. Created especially for MUTEK.JP 2026, this audiovisual performance features violinist Shuntaro Tsuneta and VJ rokapenis, creating an immersive experience where repetition and fluctuation, the physical and the digital, intersect.

Internationally acclaimed Japanese audiovisual artist Ryoichi Kurokawa presents his latest work, -nD. Using two screens with sound and image synchronized with extreme precision, the work creates an immersive audiovisual experience that moves between abstraction and concreteness, meaning and meaninglessness, separation and integration—shaping perception itself in the process.

MUTEK.JP 2026 | Play 2

Date:
Saturday, November 21
Doors 17:00 / Start 18:00 / Ends 22:00

Venue:
MoN Takanawa Box300 (Standing)

Artists:
Riccardo Giovinetto — HUMĪ [IT]
Nicolás Melmann — Música Aperta [AR/ES]
Johanna Elina Sulkunen & Tapani Toivanen — SONORITY [FI/DK]
NEUROSCAN (Canblaster & Neurotypique) [FR]

The second day of “Play” brings together a diverse range of audiovisual live performances exploring time, perception, and space.

Italian multimedia artist Riccardo Giovinetto presents his new work HUMĪ, an immersive AV performance that uses generative visuals and sound to depict an “imaginary geography”—a constantly shifting landscape where fixed boundaries dissolve, merge, and transform.

Argentine-born, Spain-based artist Nicolás Melmann presents Música Aperta, an AV performance combining electroacoustic sound with abstract light and organic imagery. In contrast to the accelerating pace of contemporary life, the work creates a contemplative space that invites audiences into stillness and meditation.

Finnish-born, Copenhagen-based musician Johanna Elina Sulkunen and visual artist Tapani Toivanen present SONORITY, an atmospheric AV performance combining the human voice and live electronics with digital afterimages of the natural world.

Making its Japan premiere, NEUROSCAN, the collaborative project of France’s Canblaster and Neurotypique, presents an AV performance developed through research at IRCAM. Modular synthesizers drive a sonic landscape ranging from UK garage to IDM, merging with real-time generative visuals to create a constantly evolving audiovisual experience.
