Continuous Life in Cubes of Light – Copper

teamLab, 2020, Interactive Digital Installation

■Work philosophy
In the copper light cube, the flowers change with the actual season throughout the year and continue to change forever, influenced by the behavior of the people.

Throughout the year, the flowers bloom for one year.
Flowers are born, bloom, scatter, wither and die. In other words, flowers repeat birth and death. As people move nearby, the flowers scatter, and as they stand still, more flowers are born.
The work continues to be drawn in real time by computer programs. It does not play pre-recorded video. As a whole, the previous state is not duplicated, but continues to change forever under the influence of human behavior. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Inverted Indiscriminate-Black in White

■Work philosophy
Although the written “Skysho” rotates in the same direction in the work space, the left-hand and right-hand rotations are logically equivalent visually as a characteristic of “super-subjective space.” Therefore, depending on the consciousness, the calligraphy turns clockwise or clockwise.

“Skysho” is a book written in space. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the depth, speed, strength of the ink of the calligraphy in the space with a new interpretation, using the logical structure of the super-subjective space of TeamLab, two-dimensional Has been Calligraphy moves between planes and solids.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
