In 2013, Shinichi Yamamoto worked on “The Movements,” a data visualization piece based on scientific data. This work is a spherical image piece created as a permanent program for “Geo-Cosmos,” the spherical display at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. http://www.omnibusjp.com/supersymmetry/research/project_3.html Then, in 2015, two years after “The Movements,” he began production on the 3D fulldome work “The Man from the 9 Dimensions,” which was released in 2016 and screened at Dome Theater Gaia at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. He was responsible for visualizing scientific concepts related to superstring theory in theoretical physics, as well as for the film’s visual direction. http://www.omnibusjp.com/supersymmetry/research/project_7.html In the media art scene, science and art have been drawing closer together, and visualization of data and waveforms has been actively pursued. Building on the two works mentioned above, which focused on data visualization and the visualization of scientific concepts, this work is a philosophical concept visualization piece (※) that visualizes, from an artistic perspective, the concepts and ideas that arise when considering the origins of nature, the universe, and all things. The work has a total running time of 30 minutes, and each track has its own theme, such as “reversal of perspective,” “invalidating position,” “elementary particle,” and “time.” Overall, however, the main theme of the entire work is the shape of the trajectory traced by time, expressed through the concept featured in Track 04, “Emerging Design”: the accumulation of moments. Since 2016, he has collaborated on the concept with science curator Dimitris Kontopoulos, and together with Intercity-Express (Tetsuji Ohno), with whom he has continued to collaborate on sound design, they created the work in eight tracks. For high-resolution 3D visualization, Seiichi Sega (superSymmetry) also took part, contributing not only computer-generated imagery based on physical calculations but also interactive performances using TouchDesigner. ※ Philosophical concept visualization: In this context, “philosophy” refers to the knowledge, experiences, and view of life gained through pursuing the nature and principles underlying all things. - Premiere screening at MUTEK.JP: Since the main venue for MUTEK.JP in 2017 was the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, we planned and presented a version optimized for the museum’s Dome Theater Gaia 3D dome system, allowing audiences to experience the audiovisual performance in the best possible way, fully taking advantage of the dome’s specifications.
