“Do not see the forest for the trees.” In this proverb, “trees” refers to a narrow perspective or the details of things, while “forest” refers to a broad perspective, the whole picture. Inspired by this proverb, we sought to give form to the process of actively shifting between perspectives and to the way this can create a more three-dimensional image. See the trees, see the forest, then see the trees again... This body of work is an installation that allows viewers to experience the moment when a one-sided image changes by moving back and forth between the fine-grained and the broad information symbolized by the “trees” and the “forest.” Each piece is equipped with an interface such as a knob, and by operating it, viewers can transform or rotate the motifs on the screen, navigating between the perspectives of trees and forest within each work.

The newly opened Fukuoka City Science Museum’s planetary development simulator, “Planet Planter.” Visitors can take part by inserting the stamp card they are given, working together and competing as they develop a planet. A participatory exhibit filled with grand aspirations, designed to inspire children to think about the future. KOO-KI handled everything from planning and direction through to production.

Explanation: Flame is a phenomenon of light and heat produced by combustion; it is not a substance, but a sensory experience we have when observing the chemical reaction called combustion. People perceive flame, a sensory experience, as a single object, and sometimes even sense life within it. The motion of the molecules in a burning gas draws lines through space. Flame is depicted by the collection of those lines. Through teamLab’s concept of “Ultra Subjective Space,” that collection of lines is flattened into a plane, and flame is rendered. When people stand on the work, a black absolute presence is created, and the shape of the flame changes. The work continues to change forever, influenced by the behavior of the people. “teamLab Planets” (Toyosu, Tokyo) Exhibition details: https://planets.teamlab.art/tokyo/jp/ Work details: https://planets.teamlab.art/tokyo/jp/ew/universe_fireparticles_falling/
