Nonotak will present two installations at Wood Street Galleries. A new version of narrow.V3 created specifically for Wood Street Galleries on the 2nd floor and the US premiere of Daydream V.5. on the 3rd floor.

Nonotak Studio is a collaboration between visual artist Noemi Schipfer and the architect musician Takami Nakamoto. In early 2013, they started working on light and sound installations, creating an ethereal, immersive and dreamlike environment meant to envelope the viewer, capitalizing on Takami Nakamoto’s approach of space & sound and Noemi Schipfer’s experience in kinetic art. They presented their first audiovisual installation at the Mapping Festival in May 2013 and in a relatively short amount of time, the pair has become renowned for creating ethereal, immersive and dreamlike sound and light environments meant to envelope viewers.

Nonotak have been commissioned by the Mapping Festival (Geneva), EM15 ELEKTRA / MUTEK (Montreal), la Nuit Blanche (Paris), Roppongi Art night (Tokyo, Stereolux (Nantes), Playgrounds Festival (Tilburg), Mirage Festival (Lyon), Vision'R, Insanitus Festival (Lithuania), FUZ Festival (Paris), Lunchmeat Festival (Praha), KIKK Festival (Belgium), and Nokia by Lumia (Istanbul). Their work have been exhibited at institutions and galleries including Tokyo Grant Hyatt Hotel, l'Opéra de Lyon, Batiment d'Art Contemporain de Genève, Theater de NWE Vorst, La Fabrique, Pavillon Carré de Baudouin, and Le Générateur.
