Breathing Studios 呼吸するスタジオ
I make buildings breathe. In earlier works, such as Breathing Sui-gun Line and Breathing Clocktower, I connected architecture with the breathing rhythms of the people who live nearby. Buildings pulsed with light, blinking in sync with human breath, as if reanimated by the life around them.Here, in the studios of the Florence Trust, I turn…

Archaeology or imagination(WIP)考古学か想像か (習作)
A Generative Study of Sculptural Perception This study began from a question about how we look at historical sculptures today. Many public sculptures and religious figures were originally created as representations of important citizens, leaders, or symbolic individuals of their time. However, centuries later, most viewers no longer know who these people were. Their identities…

Have a Conversation with the Place: Nakaminato Station 那珂湊駅と話す
The artist has created an conversational AI mimicking as if the AI is the personality of the station itself. When an audience talks to the station’s AI, the station always responds with some humor and most importantly: change the lighting of the main platform. For example, when you ask it about the cat who lived…

Breathing Sui-gun line 呼吸する水郡線
Light works along with rural train line. It is easy to find pitch black darkness during nights on this small town in mountainside of Ibaraki. I thought that the more we sit and wait within darkness, the more we shall see every individual in there shines. Hence this artwork is a special kind of experience…

Light of a bouquet for the little shop of flowers.

This year, when a visitor puts up a bouquet, the lights gradually change its color to the color of the flowers of the bouquet. ユナイテッドアローズの店舗のクリスマスの飾り付けとしてthe little shop of flowersの依頼で制作した花Xインタラクティブ照明の第二弾。近づいて花束を照明に掲げると、照明がゆっくりと花束の色に変わってゆきます。

Make your words to lights ことばを光に
私達は言葉を通じて人と繋がる。言葉は心の中で生まれ、声となり身体から出て音となる。 または文字として伝わってゆく。人と人の対話はそうして生まれてゆく。 私はこの流れを光に繋げ、光の空間を通じて人と人が繋がる体験を作り出したい。 この作品では二人の観客がつぶやく言葉が音声認識によって一旦文字になり、 検索エンジンを用いて見出される言葉と光の関係に照らし合わされて変換され、光による対話の空間を作ります。 この色は恣意的に決められているのではなく、世の中でひとつの言葉とどんな光とその記録である写真が 結びついているのかを即時に調べて生み出される色です。この二人は言葉と光の色で対話しますが、 実はその体験を世の中の数多くの光と写真が支えているということになります。 We are connected to the people around you through words. The words were born within you, and leave your body as a form of voice, or letters. I’d translate this flow to an experience of lights, hence create experience of being connected each other. In this artwork,…

History of ways of listening to music has oriented one direction: anytime and anywhere. As we lost ties between music and place and time, how possibly we can bring it back? Sound ARTelligence project started from the question. To seek values co-created with site specific music, we quote traditional method of Japanese garden design: Shakkei,…
