PV commemorating the simultaneous release of the latest volume 5 of *The JOJOLands* and *JOJO magazine 2024 WINTER* This video crosses over Part 9 and Part 5 of *JOJO*. We placed the greatest emphasis on a structure and direction that seamlessly bridges each part.

A launch film for the colored contact lens brand "IamMe". To visually integrate the product concept of “cosmetics lenses,” which applies the color approaches of hair color and cosmetics to colored contacts, along with the lens manufacturing process and wearing imagery, the film is structured into three continuous parts. Assuming it would be used as social media advertising, the person in the wearing imagery was not filmed in live action but instead deliberately created as a CGI virtual human. By combining the realism of a flesh-and-blood body with excessively aesthetic skin and eye textures that seem to have passed through a photo filter, the film emphasizes the lens’s dot design while creating a sense of positive discomfort.

An animated work created through a collaboration between Bourbon and SCANDAL. The members, rendered in hand-drawn animation and 3DCG, deliver a dynamic performance alongside colorful patterns inspired by Bourbon product packaging.

I was born and raised in Tokyo. In “Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter,” I express the changing seasons by combining AI and generative art, focusing on flowers that are familiar in everyday life, under the theme of flowers in the city and flowers in memory. The reason I chose flowers as a motif is that I felt there is a commonality between flowers and digital signage, which is the exhibition format of “Poems in Code — The Present of Generative Art / Moving Images Generated by Programming.” When you go to the center of Tokyo, there are eye-catching signs everywhere, and even waiting for a traffic light can feel like it passes very quickly. In daily life, when walking outside, it becomes a habit to focus on “getting to one’s destination,” and we end up forgetting to walk while noticing the changing seasons. Flowers that color the seasons are very colorful and beautiful, much like the signage in the city. However, I think we rarely take the time to observe those flowers closely or stop to look up their names. Likewise, we also do not often stop and carefully look at what is written on or displayed by signage. In this sense, I felt that flowers in the city and digital signage have something in common. All of the 3D flowers in the work are created by first generating 2D images with generative AI, then measuring their depth using AI functions and converting them into three-dimensional forms. The images are generated to resemble real flowers as closely as possible. Generative AI is good at capturing the characteristics of what it creates, but it is not perfect. By comparing them with real flowers, observing the differences, and recognizing flowers anew, I chose realistic images in the hope that they could link with the viewer’s memory and sensations. In addition, the AI-generated videos in the work use images of seasonal flowers created with generative AI. By re-outputting them as video, the shapes and colors of the flowers harmonize and begin to look like new flowers, becoming nameless flowers. I felt this process was close to how flowers are recognized in memory, so I incorporated this expression. Flowers in the city may exist in our memories as something vague and blurry, like AI-generated video. I created “Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter” with the hope that even in busy times, there can be moments to stop and enjoy the present.
