Description: This work depicts a fantastical landscape that evokes a scene from a science fiction film. A massive artificial structure suddenly appears amid majestic nature. Through its uncanny presence, the work expresses the relationship between artificial and natural elements, as well as the fragility of landscapes as they change over time. In creating this piece, I aimed to complete a single scene in a short period of time, working under the constraint of finishing everything from concept to rendering in approximately two hours. [About the techniques] ・Natural elements (rocks, etc.): Realistic textures were pursued using Megascans scan data ・Artificial elements (ring-shaped structure, etc.): Modeled in Blender ・Textures: Surface details created with Substance Painter ・Scene construction: Unreal Engine 5 was used to adjust placement, lighting, and atmospheric effects (sky, clouds, fog) Software Used ・Unreal Engine 5 ・Blender ・Substance Painter PC ・Windows 11 ・Intel Core i7 12th Gen ・RTX 4070 Ti Super ・64 GB RAM

This work is an artwork created using the transparent display Planar LookThru OLED. This display has the characteristic that black areas become see-through, and by making use of that trait, the work explores how far expression can be pushed through “transparency.” In addition, four displays are arranged in depth, and by applying time delays to each or outputting different video sources, it manipulates temporal and visual layers to examine the possibilities of expression. We invite you to experience this new visual encounter woven from transparency and temporal offset.

“Life is...” Introverted, extroverted—life and death repeated unconsciously in everyday life. On the timeline from the birth of the universe to the present, the lifespan of every living being is astonishingly fleeting. It expresses the strength and beauty of life, which resists various events and continues to live on through a chain of memories. All living beings, including humans, are unaware of the phenomena taking place within their own bodies, such as the life and death of cells. For example, if planets or the universe were a single organism and living being, endlessly repeating life and death across an eternally long span of time, perhaps we too are like the cells that support their life processes.
