Forest of Resonating Lamps – One Stroketeam Lab, 2016, Interactive Digital Installation, Murano Glass, LED, Endless▼ Video: a person stands still at close range to alamp, it shines brightly and emits a color that resonates out. The lightof this lamp becomes the starting point, and it spreads to the twonearest lamps. The light from the lamps transmits the same color toother lamps, one after another, spreading out continuously. Photographer: Eric Valdenaire of Water Particlesteam Lab, 2013, Digital Work, 5 channels, Continuous Loop▼ Video: water consisting ofhundreds of thousands of water particles is virtually poured onto avirtually sculpted rock. The computer calculates the movement of theparticles to produce a simulation of water that flows in accordance withthe laws of physics. Lines are drawn in relation to a selection of 0. 1%of the particles. The sinuousness of the lines depends on the overallinteraction of the water particles. This artwork uses an accumulation of lightpoints to create a sculptural body, similar to the way distinct dots ofcolor form an image in a pointillist painting. In Crystal Universe, theparticles of light are digitally controlled and change based on theviewer’s interactivity with the work. The result is an installation thatconsists of lights, forming a sculpture that expresses the universe. Viewers are invited to enter and walk around within thethree-dimensional light space. are Chased and the Chasing Crows are Destined to be Chased as well, Blossoming on Collision – Light in Spaceteam Lab, 2017, Interactive Digital Installation, 4 min 20 sec, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi▼ Video: artwork’s center is gradually aligned tothe position of the viewers standing in the installation.
