Since 2013, we have participated in a public art project called “Shinjuku Creators Festa.” Voice of Vision took part in this festival in 2018. Using classical electronic music as its motif, a motion graphic in the taste of techno-pop appears on the streets of Shinjuku and counts down toward something. This time, we collaborated experimentally with graphic creator Seiya Nakano and the artist duo Satoshi & Makoto, handling the visuals and music, respectively. Seiya Nakano is a technical director who has worked on many notable projects in Japan through projection mapping and large-scale visual installations. Satoshi & Makoto are artists who met at Kraftwerk’s Japan tour, and their releases on the Dutch label Safe Trip have attracted attention. The music is original, created by Satoshi & Makoto for this work using vintage synthesizers from the ’80s and ’90s, as well as meticulously simulated sound sources. Both the visuals and the sound were created using distinctive methods and vintage equipment, rather than the mainstream tools used today. With creative roots in old-school techno-pop from the ’80s, we enjoyed this collaboration with artists who could share that sensibility, as an homage to techno culture.

On September 15, 2017, the Saturn probe Cassini plunged into Saturn and burned up in the atmosphere, bringing its “life” as a spacecraft to an end. Cassini continued sending data back to Earth until the very last moment, when its life burned out. This work is an exhibition that celebrates Cassini’s great achievements—beloved by many and making immense contributions to the history of planetary exploration—and invites visitors to experience its accomplishments as a visual work.

A design you can touch. A design you can bask in. In the middle of Tokyo, in Midtown, vegetables are growing now. Inside a greenhouse, they soak up the sun, photosynthesize, and absorb water to live. Their leaves, roots, flowers, and fruits—their shapes and colors—are the survival strategies of living organisms, and are design itself. First, touch the seven forms of life that thrive in the soil. Then, let your body be immersed in the design of vegetables, expanded through images and sound.

An image projection device that is not intended for information transmission, but instead focuses on color and movement. The image projected within a physically transforming frame is freed from the concepts of flatness and fixity, creating a “sculpture of images.”
