In 2013, Shinichi Yamamoto worked on “The Movements,” a data visualization piece based on scientific data. This work is a spherical image piece created as a permanent program for “Geo-Cosmos,” the spherical display at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. http://www.omnibusjp.com/supersymmetry/research/project_3.html Then, in 2015, two years after “The Movements,” he began production on the 3D fulldome work “The Man from the 9 Dimensions,” which was released in 2016 and screened at Dome Theater Gaia at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. He was responsible for visualizing scientific concepts related to superstring theory in theoretical physics, as well as for the film’s visual direction. http://www.omnibusjp.com/supersymmetry/research/project_7.html In the media art scene, science and art have been drawing closer together, and visualization of data and waveforms has been actively pursued. Building on the two works mentioned above, which focused on data visualization and the visualization of scientific concepts, this work is a philosophical concept visualization piece (※) that visualizes, from an artistic perspective, the concepts and ideas that arise when considering the origins of nature, the universe, and all things. The work has a total running time of 30 minutes, and each track has its own theme, such as “reversal of perspective,” “invalidating position,” “elementary particle,” and “time.” Overall, however, the main theme of the entire work is the shape of the trajectory traced by time, expressed through the concept featured in Track 04, “Emerging Design”: the accumulation of moments. Since 2016, he has collaborated on the concept with science curator Dimitris Kontopoulos, and together with Intercity-Express (Tetsuji Ohno), with whom he has continued to collaborate on sound design, they created the work in eight tracks. For high-resolution 3D visualization, Seiichi Sega (superSymmetry) also took part, contributing not only computer-generated imagery based on physical calculations but also interactive performances using TouchDesigner. ※ Philosophical concept visualization: In this context, “philosophy” refers to the knowledge, experiences, and view of life gained through pursuing the nature and principles underlying all things. - Premiere screening at MUTEK.JP: Since the main venue for MUTEK.JP in 2017 was the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, we planned and presented a version optimized for the museum’s Dome Theater Gaia 3D dome system, allowing audiences to experience the audiovisual performance in the best possible way, fully taking advantage of the dome’s specifications.

An audiovisual installation using multiple projectors and transparent screens. This art installation explores the theme of “parallel time” through the ever-changing scenery within the gallery space, where the looping images and the interference between the projected screens constantly create different moments and atmospheres. If time is a shared scale of measurement, then every event and phenomenon occurring along that timeline should exist simultaneously as layered strata, continuing to arise on various scales even in this very moment. In this work, finely cropped abstract images are projected simultaneously using multiple projectors, and are cast with a sense of depth onto transparent screens arranged in a three-dimensional layout. It expresses the idea that all states can coexist as generation and disappearance repeat themselves. This work was exhibited in an underground art space at Hilton Tokyo for “Shinjuku Creators Festa 2017.” An audiovisual installation using multiple projectors and transparent screens. Through the cycles of looping images and the interference of the projected screens, it constantly creates shifting moments, presenting an art installation themed around “parallel time” through the fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime scenery that transforms throughout the gallery space. If time is a single shared scale, then all events and phenomena occurring on that time axis (timeline) exist simultaneously as layered strata, continuing to occur on various scales even in this very moment. In this work, finely cropped abstract images are projected simultaneously by multiple projectors and cast with depth onto transparent screens arranged three-dimensionally in the space. It expresses the idea that generation and disappearance repeat endlessly, and that all states can exist at the same time. This work was exhibited in the underground art space at Hilton Tokyo as part of “Shinjuku Creators Festa 2017.”
