Crows are Chased and the Chasing Crows are Destined to be Chased as well, Transcending Space


This is an interactive digital installation in which viewers can walk around freely in a space that completely surrounds them with projections on all sides. Crows are rendered in light as they fly around the space, leaving trails of light in their paths and creating spatial calligraphy. The crows chase one another and in turn become chased themselves. When the chased crows crash into one another, they scatter, turning into flowers. The crows attempt to fly around people in the space, but when they crash into a viewer, they scatter, turning into flowers in the same way. When you stand near a certain designated space within the artwork the boundary between the wall and the floor disappears, the real space dissolves, eventually we become immersed in the artwork world and the lines drawn by the trails of the crows appears to be drawn in three dimensions in the space. The installation is rendered in real time by a computer program, it is neither a prerecorded animation nor on loop.The installation as a whole is in constant change, previous states will never be repeated and can never be seen again. 四方と下方が全て映像に囲われたデジタルインスタレーション作品。 光で描かれたカラスが空間を飛び回り、その軌跡が光跡となり光の空間に描く書『空書』を描いている。カラスが互いに追い追われる。追うカラスも、やがて追われる側になり、追いつかれカラス同士ぶつかると、カラスは散って花となる。 また、カラスは、鑑賞者を把握しよけながら飛んで行くが、よけきれずに鑑賞者にぶつかると同じように散って花となる。 空間の指定した場所付近に立つと壁と床の境界がなくなり現実空間が消え、やがて作品世界に没入し、カラスの軌跡が描く線が空間に立体的に描かれはじめる。 作品はコンピュータプログラムによってリアルタイムで描かれ続けている。あらかじめ記録された映像を再生しているわけではない。全体として以前の 状態が 複製されることなく、変容し続ける。今この瞬間の絵は二度と見ることができない。
