RENDER

Installation, Spiral|2018
RENDER is an experimental installation created using 20 sheets of organic display electroluminescence. Its focus’s on the perception of “being able to see things that cannot actually be seen” using footage from the natural world such as rain, wind and lightning, as well as a three-dimensional audio reconstruction using natural sound fragments.

The artwork aims to trigger a new sense of depth allowing viewers to reimagine what is depicted between each display using their minds to fill in the blanks. By displaying fragmented three-dimensional visuals on multiple displays, a new perspective can be explored not only from the front but all angles in 3D space. This experience will intensely stimulate the viewer’s imagination, leaving a deeper impression on one’s mind.

Emerge

Installation, Reborn-Art-Festival|2019
From August 3rd to September 29th, 2019, at the Reborn-Art-Festival held in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, the moving light installation Emerge was on display inside a cave at the base of the mountain in the Oginohama area.

This cave was constructed by the former Japanese navy during the war so as to store torpedoes, but decades after the war, the entrance was covered up by plants, and the surface of the rock became covered in moss, producing an ambiance with a primordial intensity.
While sometimes intense and drawing traces out at random, Emerge displayed a variety of aspects inside the darkness, and makes those who appreciated art feel that “anima = dwelling in movement, and life”.

Amazon Fashion Week TOKYO 2017 S/S

Amazon|2016
WOW was in charge of the planning, production, and creation for the opening party of “Amazon Fashion Week TOKYO 2017 S/S,” which was held in Omotesando Hills on October 17, 2016. We aimed to create a performance in line with Amazon Fashion Week TOKYO’s idea of “a performance full of surprises the likes of which has never been seen.”

With one of the key visual elements of fashion shows, White Cube (=white boxes), as a motif, we arranged 125 boxes on the wall above the stage in a geometric pattern. We began with projection mapping onto this wall of boxes and, in the middle of the event, used other devices and programming to animate the opening of their lids. We utilized the illusionary effect produced by combining projection mapping, box animation, and lighting. We believe that we enlivened the event by our creation of a space and experience full of surprises.
