The viewer themselves enters this virtual world, where they can explore and play. “Hakoniwa,” a pun combining the words for “box” and “garden,” is indeed the perfect environment for the playful creativity that the piece inspires. After your face is 3D scanned, you fall through the sky as a character in this world, quickly adopting the amusing routines of the other citizens, such as dancing around and occasionally dropping your face on the ground. Simple controls allow for interaction with other characters and their environment, as the cycle of life, creation, and destruction keeps the world in a state of constant change. By 3D-scanning the face, the viewer becomes an avatar and can step into the virtual space on the spot. Using a classic game controller to observe and play tricks on oneself, the viewer experiences something different from the real world.
