Using a stroke font, I manipulated it in p5 and filmed the process of rendering it with a pen plotter. Since the commission was for a lyric video, I explored an expression that would go beyond the usual approach of scattering the existing lyrics across the screen. I pursued the beauty of drawing on paper while eliminating the wet, fluid qualities inherent in lettering, such as the order in which the strokes are drawn.

In a world that transcends the concept of matter, immerse, experience, and become one Human expression, liberated from matter by digital technology, frees the existence of expression from its irreversible bond with matter. Human creativity goes beyond the conventional concept of matter. The material boundaries of the work disappear, blurring the boundary between the body and the work, and freeing the body even further. This collection of works creates a world that transcends the concept of matter: teamLab Massless. People immerse themselves bodily in the works, perceive them with their bodies, and become part of the works together with others, seeking a continuous, boundaryless experience between themselves and the world.

I made this with the intention of updating a hip-hop video classic in Japan.
