Another Time

interactive movie
2006.02.01-02.05 Exhibition of Graduation works
Kyoto Seika University Faculty of Arts, Kyoto Municipal
This piece is based on some of my poems. I honestly expressed my feelings on things like a lapse of time, death, anxious thoughts, relocations, my inner and outer self and so on. A touch panel is used to interact with this work at exhibitions. So I designed the interaction so that a finger mark would be printed on the screen for a while when an operator touched it.

DISTANCE - the other side of the word

interactive installation
2005/1/20-1/24 M1 Exhibition, Kyoto Seika University Gallery Fleur
Words flow out of the mouth without forms and then disappear in the air
However, words, like falling leaves,
drift about in the minds and pileup in the memories,
It is like stepping and walking on the words-leaves every day.

DISTANCE - in which happiness is felt

interactive installation
2004/12/14-12/19 Solo Exhibition, neutron, interview
Did our communications improved really, and become rich because of the development of the Internet and the digital technique? It gropes for the exchange of man's mind by using the technique of media art. "Distance in which happiness is felt" is each person. What is DISTANCE that comes into view by enjoying touching the work for you?

Out of A Book

web contents
2005/3-6 GET IT LOUDER China
The work "Out of a Book" was produced for the group exhibition "The future of Ehon", later shown on a web site. The work was produced concerning "Combination of pictures and words, Smile with sorrow, Imaginary landscape, Sense of transparency, Sense of floating, Visible navigation". The play transcending a mere amusement and pastime. The play which is worth playing. That is my aim of producing the work.

ENCOUNTER

interactive installation
2004/2/18-2/22 The 34th Exhibition of Graduation works Kyoto Seika University Faculty of Arts, Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art
It is an installation announced as my graduation production.
A certain man and woman's scene of the screen in daily life is projected right and left respectively. Instade the computer, I made two box with handle for the interface. if you turns a handle the picture changes at random, and the right and left becomes one picture occasionally. The moment of the encounter (chance meeting) in life and passing each other was simulated.

FUTARI

interactive installation
2003/9/2-9/8 Solo Exhibition , White Cube Gallery, Kyoto
It announced as my first solo exhibition. It is an interactive Movie by two spectators' simultaneous operations. A right and left story on the screen advances when two personal computers are separately operated. To come in succession on the screen, both images were projected. A right and left by chance screen becomes complete right, and "Meet" is made to be associated.

DRAWER

web contents
2003/8 Canon Digital Creators Contest 2003 Web Division Honorary Mention
It is the first interactive Movie. When the drawer at the center of the screen is clicked, the following and the image are progressed. The illustration and the photograph, etc. were used as soft-taste.
Comment by Joel Baumann: The more you go through, the more you get sucked in. The intentions have been put in place through drawings, very slight interactions. This is an interesting factor.
Comment by Joshua Davis: DRAWER was a linear animation. Some was narrative and some abstract, some interactive and some passive. It was very clever and playful, and was one of the most entertaining sites.
