Philosophy of Drawing
Aichi University of the Arts (AUA) (JP)
The theme of AUA’s exhibition is Philosophy of Drawing, showcasing artists and researchers from the area around the university. This exhibition focuses on the physical act of “drawing” and shows works that juxtapose “inner sight” and “drawing,” perceiving the physical act. This project exhibits 7 groups of works by 10 artists.
RGB microscope
Hina Ishikawa (JP)
This drawing system uses the characteristics of the three primary colors of light. I focused on the differences between the action of drawing and the things which were drawn. Using the small display gives the viewer an experience like “looking through the micro world.”
Constellations of the Earth
Hiroshi Suzuki (JP), Masato Ohki (JP)
Constellations of the Earth is a project that draws a new “constellation” on the ground using a satellite and a handmade radio wave reflector. The earth observation satellite Daichi 2 transmits radio waves and observes the ground’s surface by registering the reflected radio waves. By arranging a radio wave reflector on the ground, we efficiently reflect the radio wave of Daichi 2 on the ground and draw a “constellation” there.
Portraits
Nobuyuki Osaki (JP)
Meditating about myself and others. About memory and perception. About the reality of all of us, living in the information society. And also meditating about politics, society and unpredictable disasters, about our future. The more I think about it, the more “this world” is flooded with vagueness and uncertainties.
Bodiject-oriented
Kenri Kodaka (JP)
Bodiject-oriented is a media installation designed to give viewers an experience of “bodiject” (body as object). In this work, a single double-sided mirror vertically divides a flat display into two left and right planes; the body-image plane and the object-image plane.
Resolution of landscape
Tsutomu Yamamoto (JP)
Resolution of Landscape is a work of mixed reality. Viewers can experience two spaces between the exhibition space and a landscape movie shown on the iPad. Through this experience, the viewer draws a space in their own mind. That experience expresses spatial sense and contemporary realism in virtual space.
DM 1.0
DTG (JP)
Image analysis by deep learning has improved AI drastically, but the AI does not yet understand the meaning of “cat.” DM 1.0 is an interactive drawing machine, and the intention is to experiment with an abstract concept (this time a circle) that people have. Humans draw through rotational movement of their joints, and the drawing process of DM 1.0 is a combination of two linear motions. This work will make us aware of the difference between human physicality and machine drawing.
Arm Existence2019
Atsuhito Sekiguchi (JP), Isato Kataoka (JP)
We usually write and draw pictures without doubting the length of our arms. If someone suddenly grabs your arms and they become immobile, it also feels like putting an arm in the mud. If you cannot confirm the information by eye, you will only feel the outside world from your own body reaction.
