DOLLHOUSE is a piece of work we did with a rock band called Radical Hardcore Clique. We directed a VJ work using two layers of screens. These layers were made of high-luminance transparent displays, which we mounted on “MNGL,” a next-generation DJ booth. In the actual performance, we had the musicians stand right in the middle of the two screens. Based on graphics created by Shinichi Yamamoto, DOLLHOUSE created a world of a crazy and psychedelic club scene using interactive technologies. For instance, we used delay-mapped real-time 3D motion graphics, and also created physical simulation graphics based on the mathematical superformula. DOLLHOUSE was performed at [BRDG], a collaboration event of music and graphics, and at [ADIRECTOR vol.1-DOLLHOUSE], an event that advocates ENTER-TECH (entertainment + technology). [ADIRECTOR] took place from August 4 to August 27, 2018. They rented an entire four-story building facing the Harajuku crossing. The main organizer of the event was a masked unit from Avex Music called [2nd Function].

Music video for UQiYO’s “Night Safari.” A stop-motion animation based on the concept of “the long journey of the cycle of life,” in which countless leaves gather together to form animals, then scatter apart again. The animals featured in the video were created in collaboration with many participants through a workshop that was planned and held outdoors, from collecting materials to shaping them into forms.
