XG初のワールドツアー【XG 1st WORLD TOUR “The first HOWL”】のファイナルとして行われた東京ドーム公演。COSMIC LABはライブカメラをモーショングラフィックス、リアルタイムVFXと自由度高く融合させる独自のシステムを構築してコンテンツを制作。 約1年に渡るワールドツアーのファイナルに相応しい熱気あるステージに、生カメ演出の未来を感じる一夜となりました。

∈Y∋とC.O.L.OによるA/V Live ユニット。世界各都市で公演を繰り広げる。 ■ Performances (2025-) Art Week Tokyo— Tokyo, Japan November 15, 2025 / FACETASM MUTEK.JP — Tokyo, Japan November 21, 2025 / Nocturne 1 Powerhouse: International — A New Arts Festival — Brooklyn, New York, USA December 5, 2025 Powerhouse: International A New Arts Festival CTM FESTIVAL — Berlin, Germany January 24, 2026 / Berlin, at Haus der Visionäre REWIRE FESTIVAL —The Hague, Netherlands April 10, 2026 Variations festival — Nante, France April 11, 2026 ∈Y∋は1986年にBoredomsを立ち上げ『Super æ』や『Vision Creation Newsun』などジャンルを打ち壊す作品を世に送り出し、世界中にファンを持つ存在となっている。また、ドラマーを集めて挑んだ壮大な「Boadrum」シリーズでも知られている。Sonic YouthやJohn ZornのNaked Cityのほか、Puzzle Punksなどのプロジェクトにも参加している。 本プロジェクトは、マルチメディアA/VコレクティブCOSMIC LAB創設者でもあるビジュアルアーティストC.O.L.OとのA/Vショーである。C.O.L.Oはテクノ元祖Jeff Millsとの合作『THE TRIP - Enter the Black Hole』や、∈Y∋との『FINALBY()』などで未知のAV体験を作り上げてきており、ヴィジュアルの構造がサウンドを生成し形作る統合システムを開発してきた。音と映像を切り離せない一つのメディアとして扱い、その場ならではの、人を変容させるような体験を生み出している。 AV/DJ/LIVE という枠を超えた加速的なハイブリッド、マキシマイズの先に立ち顕れるミニマライズ 。拡張されたシンゲリフューチャリズムや地殻原子オーディオ・ヴィジュアル・リアクティブで映像・光の不可分を加速。 A swarming bundle of chaos and fun surrounds Yamantaka Eye, aka ∈Y∋, the visionary founder of legendary avant-noise groups Boredoms, Hanatarash, and Puzzle Punks. Working since the 1980s, ∈Y∋'s output has influenced and shaped experimental music in his native Japan and across the globe. From noise and psychedelia to performance art and visual art, ∈Y∋'s career is a collage of creative mischief and devilish collaborations. He has performed with the iconic Sonic Youth, on John Zorn’s Naked City (1990), and with the influential South Korean artist Nam June Paik, among many others. Expect a face-melting and mind-warping audiovisual battery as the mutant cyberkinetic noise of ∈Y∋ is combined with the rampant visuals of C.O.L.O from Osaka’s Cosmic Lab to birth an immersive audiovisual performance. Through projects such as FINALBY( ) with ∈Y∋, C.O.L.O has developed integrated systems in which visual structures generate and shape sound, treating audio and image as a single, inseparable medium to create site-specific, transformative experiences.

The Tokyo Dome performance held as the finale of XG’s first world tour, 【XG 1st WORLD TOUR “The first HOWL”】. COSMIC LAB created the content by building a unique system that seamlessly and freely integrates live camera footage with motion graphics and real-time VFX. It was an electrifying stage worthy of the finale of a world tour that spanned nearly a year, and a night that made the future of live camera direction feel within reach.

Announcement of “DENIM DEPOT UNIVERSE,” a limited capsule collection by “FACETASM,” led by Hiromichi Ochiai, and Amsterdam-based denim brand “G-STAR RAW.” Stills and a PR movie, with total direction by C.O.L.O / COSMIC LAB, have been unveiled. By wearing clothing, humans have challenged harsh environments such as outer space and the ocean floor, gaining freedom and creativity. Under this theme, scenes were created that seamlessly connect everyday life with adventures to unknown places. The filming location was the “Misono Universe Building,” a venue that has been ahead of its time since the 1950s. Inspired by NASA archives, the denim designs and the one-of-a-kind space of the Misono Building resonated with each other, giving rise to a new creation.

The world premiere of the stage art work THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-, led by Jeff Mills, was performed in Tokyo on April 1, 2024. This is the world premiere of THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-, a stage art work co-produced by Jeff Mills, the world-renowned DJ and pioneer of Detroit techno, and COSMIC LAB, one of Japan’s most innovative visual teams. With black holes as its theme, Jeff Mills handled the overall direction, script, and music, while COSMIC LAB expanded his vision of the cosmos and way of thinking through visual direction. In addition, Juju Togawa, who like Jeff Mills has been active since the early 1980s, joined as a singer, and choreographer Hiroaki Umeda, internationally acclaimed for his cross-disciplinary work spanning contemporary dance and digital art, was also part of the production. The stage costumes for each performer were designed by Hiroshi Ochiai of FACETASM, one of Japan’s leading fashion brands. This live expanded cinema work, a journey to the farthest reaches of the universe and an exploration of the deepest depths of the mind, was performed at ZEROTOKYO, equipped with a visual system developed by COSMIC LAB and state-of-the-art sound facilities.

On Monday, April 1, 2024, “Mujun - Atman in Brahman (Radio Edit)” was released from the soundtrack of THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-, a stage production exploring the mysteries of the cosmos, presented by COSMIC LAB and overseen by Jeff Mills. The track features Jun Togawa, a legendary figure with an overwhelming presence in the Japanese music scene, as vocalist. The worldviews of Jeff Mills and Jun Togawa organically blend and crystallize, and in the MV, she intersects with an AI version of Jun Togawa, resulting in a band-oriented yet minimal, floating track that breaks free from the image traditionally associated with Jeff Mills. Shinichi Yamaguchi and Kazuhide Yamaji of Togawa’s band Yapoos also took part in the recording. Lion Merry, another member of the band, is credited with composing the melody.

An XR audio-visual showcase by COSMIC LAB, which has continually explored spatial expression where the visible and invisible intersect as VJs. Using the XR (Expanded Reality) Live System, developed and advanced by COSMIC LAB, the performance was live-streamed from an expanded reality space at Universe in Misono, Osaka. COSMIC LAB amplified into an XR visual space a luminous sound performance by ∈Y∋, who continues to push experimental expression to its limits, performed with the body connected to two specialized devices: a wrist-mounted type and a cone-shaped type.

Special rebroadcast of the XR live show from “NEWVIEW DOMMINE Vol.7”! LOST TAPES MIX is a conceptual DJ set made possible by digitizing a large number of open-reel tapes unearthed in the attic of the “Misono Universe Building.” The mix primarily features recordings made in the 1960s and 70s by the actual house band of “Cabaret Universe,” with many arrangements by Taro Kidan. An XR live stream set on a virtual universe that faithfully recreates in CG the peak of the original Misono Universe in 1956. The DJ and VJ played from the COSMIC LAB studio in Osaka, while virtual lighting joined the session remotely in real time from an undisclosed location in Tokyo via VPN, with the final output streamed from the DOMMUNE studio in Shibuya.

EYE (BOREDOMS)'s new project "FINALBY( )" with COSMIC LAB & Niimi Taiki & Kanta Horio COSMIC LAB, which explores the expansion of perception through spatial expressions where the visible and invisible intersect; Kanta Horio of the art-engineering group Ponoor Experiments, who explores the relationship between sound and machines based on physical phenomena through art and system development; programmer Taiki Niimi, who handles everything from circuit design to sound synthesis; and Shinji Mashiko, who has worked with BOREDOMS for many years as sub-director—through this collaboration, they create a new audiovisual experience centered on device objects. It made its debut on the WHITESTAGE at FUJIROCK FESTIVAL’21.

A showcase using “QUASAR,” a musical instrument developed by COSMIC LAB that plays sound and visuals simultaneously. A live session with Plant Records, led by DJ YASA, formerly of KIREEK, who achieved the remarkable feat of winning the DMC World Championship five years in a row. YoshimiO (OOIOO) and TOKIO AOYAMA also took part in this work.

Participated as an XRVJ in the performance by Hakushi Hasegawa, the young musician drawing global attention, on “THE HIT,” the music program hosted by Flying Lotus. By integrating LiDAR and ARKit into COSMIC LAB’s XR live system, an audio-reactive VFX performance was improvised as live VJing, transforming the musician’s physical presence.

Using the latest visual technology that fuses 3D projection mapping and lasers, this is a performance of shomyo, imagery, and light linking the monk, the pagoda, Kobo Daishi, and Dainichi Nyorai. Celebrating the 1,200th anniversary of the founding of Koyasan, a World Heritage site, it is a prayer of gratitude and thanksgiving dedicated to Odaishi-sama, themed on “Namu Daishi Henjo Kongo.” http://www.koyasan1200-hikari.jp/
