Horaica is an art-science installation that tries to enhance plants’ capability and understanding (feeling/ seeing) of our local environment through their senses. It does so through a spatial artistic installation that engages with the visitor. The title of the artwork comes from the name of the ancient Greek goddesses who were sisters, the Horai (aka Horae, Hours) who are the goddesses of seasons and natural portions of time. Since the time when human beings began constructing cities, we have included plants in the urban scape. Like hanging garden in Babylon, but the meaning of small pieces of nature in urban environments, urban nature, has not changed much in the past... View Article

Crystal Study is installation which turns non-perceivable process of crystallisation in artistic light installation. The earth is developed/changed in decade. It is even still developing in every minutes, every second. We can say it is crystallisation.
But for human being it is difficult to sense the phenomena such a global warming in real time. Because it is too long time scale and too small change.
From long ago human tried to observe such intangible environmental phenomena.
For example Stormglass(aka FitzRoy glass) Which developed in 19th century for weather forecast. This device is react with chronological change from temperature, atmospheric electro magnet noise (ref.1), etc which changing in long time scale that human can’t... View Article

Bipolar is a sofa with a build-in vibrator matrix. This vibrator matrix is driven by real time status data of radiation from its local environment and represents it as spatially distributed haptic vibrations. Hence the stronger the local radioactivity the more active will be the vibrations. This project aims to make people aware, fear against radiation and at the same time feel relaxed by spatial haptic groove. If people listens to music, they believe that they hear it by their ears. But the truth is a little bit different. People listen as well by their body via spatially distributed vibration. Listening to an orchestra in a concert hall or in... View Article

Re: Newspapers is an augmented newspaper with AR technology that aims to show how news is presented across the world. Influenced by the Internet, the form and function of news reading has nowadays drastically changed. People can read real-time online news from all over the world: this results in a seemingly flat, homogeneous, globalized news feed. However, although the news content is becoming increasingly globalized, the way news is presented still widely varies among different countries and cultures. The project Re: Newspapers aims to expand the viewer’s awareness of the differences and similarities in the ways news is presented across the globe. The news content is taken... View Article

Sound Cape is interactive sound textile installation which consists from two parts.Collaboration between Akitoshi Honda and Kyoka. ‘Sound cape I’ is the dress made by a square fabric. Considering about modern processing technique of clothes where occurs many wastes of fabric by cutting and sawing. The ‘Sound Cape I’ produces no wastes with its spe- cial process. It made by a square fabric without any cutting and sawing. Despite this simple process of ‘Sound cape I’, it is aesthetically created. Each points which shows human body more beautiful is well calculated. Therefore it surprisingly leaves symmetric creases, not random like as wraparound, on its material. Then each dress can exhibit... View Article

The Monatom is sound and laser-light installation. Sound and laser-light are synthesized from bit-data (such as 01010011) of words. This installation is simile to a nonexistent life-form on the earth. The installation represents a dynamic reaction such a chemical reaction of biochemical substances in a cell or DNA processing as lights and sounds.

GLOGRAPHER is modified analog camera which shoots a news photo from foreign countries that the camera is pointing at. The user can point at the physical direction to a country and use the lens zoom to adjust distance. This work tries to call people to rethink their relationship with news and their consciousness of geographical coordinate. As a homage to the glory days of press photo in the mass media, an analog single lens reflex is used in this project.

The 2nd order diatoms is interactive installation collaborated with Shintaro Miyazaki, and Michael Chinen The 2nd Order Diatoms senses the rhythm of mobile electronic gadgets, which used in daily life. The electromagnetic waves produced by the little machines get converted to sound and light. 2nd Order Diatoms is also a laser-installation, which creates circular patterns similar to some sort of diatoms, which are one of the oldest life forms of our earth. As artists we ask ourself: “How could LIFE FORM be synthesized?” Our answer: In the ancient ocean life form has began. In the ancient ocean there were many rhythms and frequencies, such as the waves of the ocean,... View Article
