Description:
We produced a video work that serves as new content for the Japan Science and Technology Agency's Miraikan signature exhibit, "Geo-Cosmos." Based on the hypothesis proposed by atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen that the strata formed by human activity should be positioned as a new geological epoch called the "Anthropocene," the work provides an overview of Earth from its birth to the present. Using a wide range of techniques, including special effects, animation, and CG, and set to music by env.Roy and U-zhaan, it playfully presents the difficult theme: “What will our era leave behind in Earth’s history?”
