Noise music has long been used to broaden sound as an artistic medium and challenge us to appreciate more complex compositions. In Japan, where the art of noise has long been established, Atsuhiro Ito stumbled across it by accident when he discovered a fluorescent light creating a reaction with a radio. The relationship between light and sound formed a rhythm that stirred his interest.
Ito will perform with his home-made instrument called an "optron" which produces noises from the electrical discharge of a fluorescent light. The music played on an optron is a repetition of intense flickers of light and noises and it stimulates and attacks our visual and auditory senses.

Steven Simon's "Spiral" is based geometry in nature _ a study of structure, volume and space. The very act of planting seeds, watching them grow into plants and observing how they develop informs the viewer about how Simon sees and thinks about shapes, textures and other spiralling structures.
His materials and method of mould-making capture the textured surfaces of flowers and vegetables that evoke spiral forms reminiscent of the DNA double helix and galaxies.
