COLORS & CLOUDS

Minatomirai Station, Yokohama (2004)

To coincide with the opening of the Minatomirai subway line, NTT developed a media system called the Mirai Tube. Camera sensors pick up the positions of people as they move about the station concourse, and those positions are in turn expressed as visual feedback. The system was planned as a new advertising medium.
NTT commissioned four groups of artists/designers to create works using the system to be shown in the exhibition in the tube at the Minatomirai station concourse in Yokohama. Living World was one of the groups, and created two works: COLORS and CLOUDS.

Have you ever questioned art? This art questions you

April 19, 2011|By Molly Samuel, Special to CNN

A new exhibit at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco doesn’t just challenge visitors. It questions them.

“Are We There Yet?” is made up of hundreds of questions, and anyone entering the near-empty gallery hears a different combination from everyone else. The exhibit is actually responding to how fast each visitor moves around the room, how long he or she stays and where each person goes.
