Opening film for EARTH MART, one of the Signature Pavilions at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo. Through animations depicting the food chain, it expresses the connections of life through food and the idea that every act of eating is part of the cycle of life, guiding visitors into a mindset that invites them to reflect on “the weaving of life.”

Commentary: [triggering Save Lives ver.] is a new work born in response to the global pandemic, continuing the original [triggering] performance. A visualized representation of COVID-19 has been added to the conventional geometric motifs of [triggering], further enhancing the original interplay between sound and image. The work aims to create a stark contrast between “synesthesia,” the original theme of triggering, and the “chaos” brought about by the ongoing pandemic. “triggering Save Lives ver.” is an updated version of the AV work “triggering” series, which has been performed since 2014, and was created amid the global pandemic. By adding visualized representations of COVID-19 to the synchronization of sound with conventional geometric motifs and color patterns, the work aims to move back and forth between “synesthesia,” the theme of triggering, and the “chaos” caused by the pandemic.

This work has been entered in “Shinjuku Creators Festa 2018”. It originated from the abstract image captured from people walking in Shinjuku, visualizing the image freely and flexibly. The city of Shinjuku itself, the buildings and people - they all seem to be heading in a certain direction, growing and developing. Though we are not quite sure what to make of these forms, we are simply struck by the beauty of their silhouette. Seeing that it shares a common concept with a chemical reaction formula called “reaction diffusion”, we have incorporated into this piece of work a spontaneously created cycle pattern using Houdini and TouchDesigner. Three different patterns of the work were presented on “Digital Signage EST VISION by LUMINE EST”. This work was entered in “Shinjuku Creators Festa 2018.” Based on an image abstracted from people walking in Shinjuku, it is a freely visualized piece. The city of Shinjuku, its buildings, and its people all seem to be growing toward somewhere, but it is impossible to say what exactly the formed shapes are; they are simply beautiful as silhouettes. Because this idea was very close to the long-established chemical reaction formula known as “reaction diffusion,” we used Houdini and TouchDesigner together to incorporate spontaneously generated periodic patterns into the expression. Three different versions of the video were presented on “Digital Signage EST VISION by LUMINE EST”.

This is a promotional video for “Jam de Night,” an event where creators from different fields come together and mingle. Using stop-motion with items such as novelty jam jars, it builds a handcrafted visual world. It depicts, in a pop and humorous way, the delight of different colors and shapes overlapping and blending together. The video directly captures the event’s jam-like, free-flowing atmosphere.
