Nature grants “blessings” and brings “disasters” — such stories are nothing more than human perspectives. Phenomena that can be “blessings” or “disasters” to us are, in the natural world, akin to the impermanence of all things, and before their presence, we are powerless. The connection of beautiful “life” that creates such a vast and seemingly futile “nature” is confined within a sphere. The life contained within transforms in form and becomes a great surge. A station break for “Geo-Cosmos,” the symbol exhibit of the newly reborn National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. The video projected onto the 6-meter-diameter spherical display has no seams vertically or horizontally, and can be viewed from any position. We were responsible for the project from planning and composition through final production. *For screening information, please contact the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

A VR installation work with the concept of a “space of sound.” It recreates the spatial dimension of music, with the aim of transporting one’s audiovisual perception into that space through an HMD. Music always possesses space and time. The groove created by one sound and another is the “ma” (interval), and what emerges from that is a “vast space.” By immersing oneself in that immense space, the work seeks to create an experience of being more fully enveloped by the spatiality of music.

In 2021, when the Delta variant of COVID-19 began to emerge, this work was created with the concept of warning against the growing sense of complacency in society. The entire production process, from filming onward, was carried out remotely from home. With support for medical professionals in mind, the design uses blue in a way that makes it stand out and catch the eye. The characters and floating clouds, as well as other objects, were created in 3DCG, while everything else was filmed on the dining table at home.

A VR installation work based on the concept of a "sound space." Its aim is to recreate the spatial quality of music and, through an HMD, transport one’s own sight and hearing into that space. Music always possesses both space and time. The groove created by sounds and the "ma" between them is what gives rise to a "vast space." By immersing oneself in that vast space, the work seeks to create an experience of being more fully enveloped by the spatiality of music.

This high-resolution video installation uses four sides: the front, both sides, and the top. Each is equipped with a high-definition LED panel. By manipulating the contactless controller, the graphic image changes instantly with hand gestures. This LED panel is so massive that it extends beyond the range of human vision. Although it is a 2D image, it greatly captivates the audience’s attention. This artwork successfully creates an atmosphere by expressing the ripeness and texture of the image. Various motion graphics such as “Abstract Wave,” “Soft Texture,” “Straight Line,” and “Velvety Fur-like Texture” appear one after another, showing the transformation of “the Atmosphere of Textures.” A high-resolution video installation using four high-definition LED panels on the front, both sides, and the top. Using a contactless controller, it is possible to switch images instantly with hand gestures. By using a massive LED panel that extends beyond the field of view, the work achieves a strong sense of immersion even with a 2D image, successfully expanding the image’s sizzle and texture into the surrounding space. Motion graphics such as “Abstract Wave,” “Soft Texture,” “Straight Line,” and “Flowing Fur-like Texture” appear one after another, transforming “the texture of space.”

An interactive installation work using four LED panels and weight sensors. By stepping onto the pressure sensors and shifting your weight, you move forward, backward, left, and right through a particle space of light, like a sea of bioluminescent plankton.
