RICOH 3L is a practice-based research lab that accelerates team creativity while pursuing the joy of work. Within it lies RICOH PRISM, a future space designed to bring out the creativity of teams. One of its contents, “Anima,” is a new kind of perceptual art experience: a 16-minute audiovisual work in which you encounter your own digital twin, converted into digital form. Inspired by RICOH multifunction printers, it uses cutting-edge 3D sensing, 360° sound, and imagery to let participants experience five stages, recording the participant’s ANIMA, or soul, transforming it into data, and through subjective and objective viewpoints, metacognizing and reexamining and reconstructing perception. By accurately capturing the user’s viewpoint and position through 3D sensing, it achieves a highly immersive and realistic 3D space without the need for a VR headset. It also records scan data from a variety of participants, allowing it to be viewed from above and enhancing metacognition. In a future where everything has been digitized, it asks whether ANIMA, or the soul and perception, still exist.

Oishi Masayoshi “Shinda!” music video. The somewhat shocking title and the world of the video were based on a mix of American retro B-movie horror and otaku culture. It is composed of a live-action Oishi and Zombie Oishi, whose character design was created by animator Hano. The horror-filled world was depicted through animation and live action with projected backgrounds.

We produced the music video for PUNPEE, VaVa, and OMSB’s “Wheels feat. Sara Yoshida (MONONKUL)” at P.I.C.S. Titled “Wheels,” this combination single draws a parallel between everyday life and a road movie with wheels turning, depicting the scenery seen from each of their perspectives. The track was produced by Rascal. The song was created for inclusion on the compilation album celebrating SUMMIT’s 10th anniversary, currently in production.
