With NONOTAK’s Daydream V.6 at present exhibiting at Reality’s Future Shock exhibition at London’s 180 Studios, we revisit our 2020 documentary on the audiovisual duo’s immersive work.
NONOTAK is an audio-visual collaboration between illustrator Noémie Schipfer and musician Takami Nakamoto. Collectively they’ve been exploring area, sound and light-weight throughout installations and reside reveals since 2011, showing at festivals comparable to MUTEK, Sónar and Houston’s Day For Evening.
The duo’s in depth catalogue of works deal with the interaction between Schipfer’s geometric patterns and Nakamoto’s sound design, delivered to life by beautiful projections and lighting, triggered with the help of Ableton Stay and Resolume.
“With NONOTAK, it’s extra like drawing inside an area in comparison with after I was drawing on the paper or portray,” Schipfer says. Nakamoto, who’s a former architect, approaches the artistic course of nearly just like the design of a construction.
“Once I write music I all the time take into consideration areas or there’s all the time a type of summary imaginative and prescient happening in my head,” Nakamoto says, “after which I begin to put colors or emotion within the concept I’ve and I begin to consider what it might sound like.”
