Masakatsu’s mesmeric Light Park #1 and #2 derive as much from his interest in the medium of video as in that of music, for which he is equally, if not more, well-known. Masakatsu collects sounds and images that he then manipulates on a laptop to create dream-like, audio-visual sequences that
belong to the worlds of both contemporary art and ambient music video. In Light Park, the actions of a whirling ferris wheel, or children playing, are only the starting point for a more complex sensory experience that combines light effects with real, manipulated, and digitally created sounds.
