“Magnetact Animals” is a kinetict toy (a moving toy) created by extending “Magnetact,” a magnetic tactile technology using magnet sheet, researched by Dr. Kentaro Anken of NTT, from the realm of tactile sensation into the realm of “movement.” With nothing more than a simple craft activity of attaching magnet sheet and cardboard to paper, it produces a variety of creatures that move in surprising ways. In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, when children could not go बाहर and had fewer opportunities to experience science at museums and similar places, Ishikawa and his team designed and held an online craft workshop using Magnetact Animals as teaching material, allowing children to learn how magnets work. By sending kits to each household and making full use of the power of video—such as multiple cameras and an opening film—they created a workshop that could be understood and enjoyed even online, while still providing a satisfying sense of accomplishment. This is the opening film shown to the children at the start of the workshop, as well as an introduction to the activity as a whole.

“NEMURUMA EHON” is an original picture book read-aloud program that began streaming on U-NEXT in October 2024. Featuring a carefully selected lineup of Japanese picture books that we want people to read now, chosen together with Nemu Yumemi, the program invites a variety of readers to bring them to life. To convey the appeal of picture books themselves, the actual books are filmed on camera. By making full use of editing techniques such as preserving the sound of pages being turned and action cuts, we aim to transform a single reading experience into video. At the end of the program, “Nemuruma Anime” by Yosuke Omomo continues to play, gently encouraging a calm state of mind and sleep. By exploring what is uniquely possible with streaming video—such as not showing “the next recommended video” and not fixing a set runtime—we aim to create a program that can be a small help in childcare, one that parents can feel comfortable handing to their children on a tablet or smartphone.

“Hirake Hako” is a new packaging design, along with a group of technologies that form its elements, developed with Keiaki Nakaji and presented at TAKEO PAPER SHOW 2023, “PACKAGING—Function and Laughter.” By treating the wave-like structure of Takeo’s fine-paper corrugated board “Fine Flute” as if it were the teeth of a gear, we developed mechanical element technologies that create a variety of “movements” using paper. Building on this technology, we proposed a package that contains the mechanism within the box itself, offering a new way to open it and a distinctive unboxing experience.

This is an original segment for the new craft program “Ugokosaku,” which is being developed jointly by the video streaming service U-NEXT and designer Masaya Ishikawa. By working together with animations displayed on a tablet or smartphone and placing the craft on the screen, you can create a moving craft—that is, “ugokosaku.” “Ugokosaku” also uses technology and optical illusions to deliver the joy of making things by hand through new crafting and visual experiences unique to streaming.

This is an original segment for the new craft program “Ugo Kousaku,” which is being developed together by the video streaming service U-NEXT and designer Masaya Ishikawa. By accessing the web app on a smartphone, animations appear over the camera feed. With a single action triggered by tapping the screen, this simple animation asks viewers, “Where in the world would it be interesting to place it?” Through the way the animation’s size and appearance change depending on where it is placed — that is, through the illusion of size — this piece also invites us to reflect on how our eyes work. “Ugo Kousaku” will also convey the joy of thinking and of making things by hand through new craft and video experiences made possible only through streaming, using technology and optical illusions.

3-channel video, silent 48:49 seamless loop Presented in Furusawa’s solo exhibition held in January 2024 as a new work in the MidTide series, which he has been developing since 2023. This work is a video installation created on the coast of Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, where waves and rocks were captured in the frame and approximately three and a half hours of changes in light and tide were recorded. Using that footage as source material, the artist then carried out data manipulations that reconfigure the temporal dimension of the video. If the footage is arranged as a sequence of still images, it can be represented as a three-dimensional space in which time becomes the depth axis. Video playback is the process of moving one cross-section of this solid form continuously from front to back, but in this work that linear trajectory is intentionally deviated from and allowed to rotate freely. The time treated here is different from the time we ordinarily experience. Unlike normal experience, only the waves, as the subject, retain their form and motion, indicating the passage of time. Just as changes in the tide quietly transform the landscape before one realizes it, this work subtly erodes the viewer’s perception of time and space. This work digitally reinterprets traditional temporal expression in the video medium and explores new possibilities for the visual experience of moving images.
