Hello,
I am Nakai, an Adan staff member.
It's hot every day...I want to have a holiday where I can relax and enjoy myself in an air-conditioned place,
Just at that time, the "AUDIO ARCHITECTURE: Sound Architecture Exhibition" was held at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT.
I was invited by the "Mere Old Man" to visit the "Mere Old Man" and I went there on a whim, so I would like to report on my experience.
<Exhibition Overview
Music, which we are familiar with in our daily lives, is a structure (architecture) elaborately designed with various elements such as tone, range, volume, and rhythm. However, we are rarely aware of the origins and structure of music in our daily lives.
In this exhibition, up-and-coming artists will interpret the new song "AUDIO ARCHITECTURE" written by musician Keigo Oyamada (Cornelius) for the exhibition from their own perspectives and create video works. (quoted from the official website)
As I said, I am not familiar with music and don't know a lot about it.
I came to the venue with a sense of uneasiness, wondering if I could go there in such a state.
Once inside, a large screen showed a live studio video.
This is the new song "Audio Architecture" written by Mr. Oyamada for this exhibition.
Finally, a giant screen appeared in the adjacent exhibition room, showing nine video works in sequence.
The two most impressive were
- Kazumasa Teshigahara / Ongaku Worms
The work is expressed by regarding the music as "something pulsating with life.
The somewhat grotesque and colorful moving images caught my attention.
- Jiko Mizuhiri/airflow
This picture shows sushi on a balloon.
The animation has a soft and cute worldview, but I couldn't get enough of the indescribable surreal sensation of the subtle, off-kilter movements of multiple objects that appear in the film, such as sushi, tissues, and balloons.
Also, lastly, after you finish looking at the big screen, if you proceed to the back side of that screen,
There is a small room where each of the nine works is explained and a video is shown.
That's what impressed me there,
- Euphrates (Masaya Ishikawa) + Shun Abe/Layers Act
I thought it was a simple light image and I was actually watching it on the big screen.
They were made by overlapping and moving two transparent films with patterns on them.
There is an actual film to experience.
I felt I was able to experience just a little bit of the joy of creating images set to music.
I viewed all nine works in succession, which would be an hour.
We were able to relax and enjoy the show in the stair-like seating area in front of the screen.
Various elements in music, such as tone, register, and rhythm, were "translated" into video through the unique interpretations of the artists in this exhibition.
Music lovers and Cornelius lovers, of course,
I think it would be very interesting for someone like me who doesn't know music that well to go there.
