Taisuke Koyama’s solo exhibition “SENSOR_CODE” was held at South London gallery SEEN FIFTEEN. The exhibition featured nineteen abstract photographic works produced using not only cameras but hand scanners and flat bed scanners. These pieces are based on the concept of the “sensor-based image” — that is, an image based on data recorded by a photodetector, and presented by the artist as a photograph for the digital age. Ten of the works were presented as large-scale prints randomly suspended from the ceiling in an installation designed to be a physical experience for the viewer as he or she journeys around the gallery space. This exhibition was held as part of the main program of contemporary photography festival Peckham 24, which took place alongside London’s largest photography fair, Photo London. On Peckham 24’s opening night, there was a special outdoor screening of video art, as well as gallery talks and more.
