We co-produced the installation “Robotic Clapping Wall” for 7-ELEVEN Taiwan’s CSR campaign “Rhythm of Love” with ADK Taiwan. Robotic Clapping Wall is an installation featuring a donation box placed in front of a wall equipped with 12 robotic hands. Each time someone makes a donation, the hands on the wall clap for the donor. These “clapping robots,” which produce realistic clapping sounds, were co-developed with Bye Bye World. We also created a campaign website where users could make and share their own original clapping rhythms. Robotic Clapping Wall was exhibited at 7-ELEVEN stores throughout the greater Taipei metropolitan area from November 10 to December 8, 2018. http://7-11rhythmoflove.com.tw/

Don’t Drink Me – Taiwanese Beer Flavored Bath Bomb

2024
Only Image
Whatever Taipei developed a “Taiwan Beer–flavored bath bomb” series in collaboration with the local Taiwanese brand HanBeer, as the second installment of its bath bomb line “Don’t Drink Me,” inspired by original Taiwanese drinks. https://www.pinkoi.com/product/CdznjmqQ Inspired by the drinking culture enjoyed at Taiwanese rechao (熱炒) restaurants, the series features three flavors: IPA, lychee beer, and osmanthus beer. Each bath bomb faithfully recreates the iconic aroma and realistic appearance of Taiwan Beer, with meticulous attention to detail, even down to the shape of the foam. Each bath bomb is also wrapped in a specially designed retro beer glass, which can be reused as a drinking glass after use. To commemorate the launch, a pop-up event was also held at “Wetland Venue” in Taipei, offering an immersive “tipsy bathroom” experience. Visitors could take photos in a bathtub surrounded by beer-colored tiles, or join a scent experience session at a unique sink made from stacked beer crates. One thing to keep in mind, however—this bath bomb is “Don’t Drink Me”!

Akabako: Embrace the Warmth of Japanese Bathing

Whatever Taipei designed a new key visual for “Aka Bako Beauty Soap,” the classic best-selling product of the long-established Japanese brand Cow Brand. It also planned the brand’s first-ever experiential special exhibition, “Sento-gaku.” https://www.cow-style.com.tw/index.php The key visual incorporates the classic atmosphere of a sento, designing “Aka Bako” to evoke a warm bath and create a soothing, comforting ambiance. In the experiential exhibition “Sento-gaku,” organized in collaboration with the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, Japanese sento culture is faithfully recreated, allowing visitors to explore the bathing culture of Japan. In the exhibition area of “Sento-gaku,” noren curtains once designed by Cow Brand to suit customs across Japan are displayed in a row. When visitors pass through them, they feel as if they have time-traveled back to a public bath from a hundred years ago. Various sento-related items are also on display, along with a mural of “Red Fuji” made by stacking Aka Bako bars; a faint fragrance fills the space, soothing both body and mind. In addition, during the exhibition period, theme lectures by popular instructors and a DIY soap stamp workshop were also held. Through “Aka Bako,” visitors were given an opportunity to bring Japan’s unique sento culture into their everyday lives.

Kenshi Yonezu New Album Release Event "LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO"

To commemorate the release of Kenshi Yonezu’s 6th album, LOST CORNER, we were responsible for the character design and AR production/design of “LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO,” held at Tokyu Plaza Harajuku “Harakado.” LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO is a roughly five-minute AR experience that lets visitors witness a fictional Kenshi Yonezu live performance, dancing freely through the streets of Harajuku to songs such as the opening theme of the anime Chainsaw Man, “KICK BACK,” and the theme song for the NHK TV drama series Tiger and Her Wings, “Sayounara Mata Itsuka!” By co-creating with SoVeC, part of the Sony Group, and leveraging the advanced capabilities of Sony’s VPS technology, which boasts outstanding precision and robustness, we were able to create an immersive presentation that blends reality and digital content.

NHK E-tele “Aokiiro” Animation “Kurikaeshi no Uta”

We created the animation “The Song of Repetition by ROUTINE RECORDS,” which is used in a new segment of NHK E Tele’s children’s program Aokiiro, together with HERALBONY. “Ao” and “kiiro” are different colors, but when the two overlap, they become the same “midori.” Aokiiro is a program that nurtures a “mindset of coexistence,” in which many forms of life overlap and resonate with one another, and people come to rejoice together, help one another, and live together. In “The Song of Repetition by ROUTINE RECORDS,” we use the “tone” of repetitive behaviors, or routines, which may at first seem strange to others, as exhibited by people with disabilities, as a guide to express their invisible “inner landscapes” through music and animation. We also produced a music video version, “The Song of Repetition,” which brings together the stories of four artists contracted with HERALBONY into a single song.

On 2015.6.11, a VR installation using a head-mounted display was exhibited at ASAHIxHIFANA “FEELTHESUPERDRY” held in Shanghai. This content lets viewers experience the world of beer in 360°. To create a sense of immersion in the visuals, we used the head-mounted display “GearVR.” We also used “Cinema4D” for the 3DCG and the 3D game engine “Unity” for development. The marine life and bubble effects were composed using CG animation. *Event: A club event in which creators from around the world collaborate, awakening the five senses through “beer” with music and experimental technology, and lighting up a night of jubilation. http://taki-lab.com/2015/06/16/asahibeer-feelthesuperdry/

Art collective. Active since 2001. An international interdisciplinary collective that explores the intersection of art, science, technology, and the natural world through collective creativity. It is composed of specialists from a wide range of fields, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects. teamLab seeks to explore new ways of perceiving the relationship between the self and the world through art. In order to perceive, people divide the world into parts and see it as separate entities with boundaries. teamLab explores ways to transcend the boundaries of perception, the boundary between the self and the world, and even the boundaries of our awareness of the continuity of time. Everything exists, precariously and miraculously, upon the seamless continuity of an immensely long span of time.

Small World – The Google Translate Restaurant

2016
00:02:00
In Manhattan, New York, we planned and produced a pop-up restaurant to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Google Translate and introduce its new Word Lens feature. To give people a hands-on experience with Google Translate, we brought together notable local chefs and opened a restaurant that served a different free multinational cuisine each day. However, at this restaurant, all the menus and staff communicated only in languages other than English, so guests had to download and use Google Translate in advance in order to understand the multilingual menus and converse with the staff speaking various languages. Reservations filled up immediately, and the event became an experience where hundreds of guests enjoyed different cultures and foods while also discovering the app’s practicality.
