Why don’t you swim at the art gallery? This work was created as a participation entry for to the Sendai Art Walk. The first exhibit is at the Miyagi Museum of Art, and a large conference hall was prepared. In order to use this large space effectively, we projected the works onto an entire 12m width wall. When we did the actual exhibition, it looked like a large water tank in the darkness. Seeing visitors move their bodies and enjoy the work, it looked exactly like they were swimming in virtual water, and I think it was a very mysterious space. In particular, children seemed to be playing by entering a dead run from edge to edge of the screen, until they lost their breaths. It’s fun to work up a sweat at the art gallery from time to time, isn’t it?
