Nature grants “blessings” and brings “disasters” — such stories are nothing more than human perspectives. Phenomena that can be “blessings” or “disasters” to us are, in the natural world, akin to the impermanence of all things, and before their presence, we are powerless. The connection of beautiful “life” that creates such a vast and seemingly futile “nature” is confined within a sphere. The life contained within transforms in form and becomes a great surge. A station break for “Geo-Cosmos,” the symbol exhibit of the newly reborn National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. The video projected onto the 6-meter-diameter spherical display has no seams vertically or horizontally, and can be viewed from any position. We were responsible for the project from planning and composition through final production. *For screening information, please contact the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

A VR installation work with the concept of a “space of sound.” It recreates the spatial dimension of music, with the aim of transporting one’s audiovisual perception into that space through an HMD. Music always possesses space and time. The groove created by one sound and another is the “ma” (interval), and what emerges from that is a “vast space.” By immersing oneself in that immense space, the work seeks to create an experience of being more fully enveloped by the spatiality of music.
