A 30-minute live performance brought together high-resolution topographic data obtained from artificial satellites, waves depicted by algorithms, terrain, and minimalist motion graphics inspired by Starlink’s orbit.

Ambient Digital Signage “Duct Mimicry”

2022

We designed an ambient LED signage display that “mimics ductwork.” The LED signage is modeled after ducts installed on the ceilings inside actual buildings, and has been designed as cylinders and rectangular prisms that are the same size as real ducts. It represents a new form of LED signage that coexists with architecture. The economic information displayed on the LED signage is updated in real time every day with economic data from SPEEDA and NewsPicks provided by Uzabase. It was conceived as a scene in which the information flows through the ducts together with water, racing through the city of Marunouchi, one of the centers of the Japanese economy. To mimic ductwork, we simulated how sunlight enters over the course of a year. In addition, by installing illuminance sensors and linking the display to the lighting in the interior space, we designed the visuals on the LED signage to be overlaid with shadows. By reflecting color from elements such as the staircase, we pursued “mimicry” as closely as possible.

DOLLHOUSE

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].

“What is not seen must be considered as valid as what is seen, whether it is gravity or the miracles of transubstantiation.” We are inclined to live in our own little bubble and forget the vastness of existing reality which our eyes cannot directly see. One “knows” a world not only in the sense of recognizing it, but also in the act of shaping and “realizing” it. We are all navigating on our private atlases. The path is not a given, but is made in the treading of it–we move by our beliefs, curiosity, and association. We keep arranging imaginary rhumbs on an ever growing map in a way we associate with successful navigation. If we pause to ponder about it, we realize that our map shows all the things we still do not know. We are lost, disoriented, we are at sea.
