MONSTER LAND / NHK E-Tele: Play in English with Orton

2022
Only Image
I was responsible for the following tasks: ・Illustration / logo design: all ・Animation / motion design For this project, the request was to differentiate it from other works by expressing Halloween without using orange or purple. By using a lot of black, I expressed a Halloween world, and by using primary colors, I aimed for cute illustrations that felt like a children’s program. I also paid close attention to the detailed motifs, such as plants, totem poles, and garlands, so that it would be enjoyable to look at. Drawing on my experience in dance and theater during my student years, I’m good at creating character animation that makes children want to imitate it, so for the dance part I incorporated choreography that is easy to copy and memorable, and overall I aimed for a cute animation that leaves viewers feeling warm and happy. #motiongraphics #motiondesign #design #edit #illustration #2d #3dcg #flatdesign #flat #animation #artwork #motionlogo #movinglogo #onair #image #musicvideo #MV #モーショングラフィックス #アニメーション #モーションデザイン #モーション #編集 #イラスト #フラットデザイン #平面 #アート #アニメ #モーションロゴ #サウンドロゴ #オンエア #ミュージックビデオ #映像 #ムービー #1930 #イチキューサンゼロ #ウムネス#umnes

This exhibition is a ritual in which the artist, the viewer, and AI collaborate to summon new yokai through haiku. The artist breaks apart renku (5/7/5) created through an automatic-writing-like process, and the viewer freely creates a haiku (5/7/5) from those multiple words. The haiku formed from the viewer’s chosen combination is rewritten by ChatGPT into a 50-word English poem. The English poem is then read by an image-generation AI that imitates Takakura’s style, summoning a new yokai. As soon as it is born, the yokai is released into the online world, destined to become an NFT bearing the name of the haiku. This exhibition reconsiders the themes that Surrealism pursued through the lens of contemporary AI. Generative AIs such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion learn from vast archives of all human knowledge from around the world available on the internet, and output text and images through a kind of imagination that is not human. Isn’t this a mode of access very close to the Surrealists’ attempts to reach the human unconscious at the height of Surrealism? Rather than accessing dreams or the inner world of the unconscious, contemporary humanity uses the internet to access the archive of all humankind, and with the help of AI, a nonhuman imagination, makes choices through what might be called an “unconscious consciousness.” In this exhibition, the imaginative powers of the artist, the viewer, and AI, placed side by side, perform a ritual to summon countless new “yokai” as “nonexistent (digital) beings” in the form of NFTs online. May 2023: ver. 1.0 exhibited at NEORT++ September 2023: ver. 2.0 exhibited at art stage osaka March 2024: ver. 3.0 exhibited at Ashikaga Museum of Art
