Performance with musical instruments made from waste materials. When I touch the metal, it makes different electronic sounds or sounds recorded in the field. 'Our movements'—such as being alive, creating heartbeats, breathing, and moving—are 'acts of sound creation'. And just as I pick out trash to assemble instruments, I pick out the sounds in my environment, including myself, and live with them.

Environmental sounds from running trains or construction sites are collected and visualized in real time. The sounds are 'swapped' into the image plane by means of a fast Fourier transform, and then output as knits from the image plane. Through this work, the artist reaffirms his own resentment towards something that has been replaced by the symptom of auditory hypersensitivity. This installation exists at the intersection of the fashion and textile domains and contemporary media art.

When you put down the frying pan, the popcorn pops. When you put the pot down, the donuts are fried. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary cooking process, but if you look closely, you can see the tails and horns. When you lift the frying pan, a sheep appears from the popcorn. A frilled lizard appears from the donuts. Sometimes, the animals move around according to the movements of the experiencer. ":Peek-a-Food!" is an interactive work based on a "slightly mysterious dish" concept.

This work is a sound installation generated from the beating of jellyfish. The sound is created through the image analysis of the beating of multiple jellyfish that exist independently, and the work as a whole functions as a single music-generating system. Although the individual jellyfish do not understand the music and are not aware of each other's existence, the activities of the multiple individuals are synthesized and thus perceived as their own music by the audience. Through these perceptions, the organic physicality of life and its potential interactions are presented.

" Sight / Insight" is an interactive installation work that transforms the human consciousness of seeing light on the street. When you enter a dark room, you will see several small LED light spots moving. As you approach and move away from the light spots, exploring and observing them, you can see 'something' from the collection of lights.

This installation combines a sensitive plant, an Arduino, a tilt sensor, and a sound generation system to visualize the plant's responses and changes in the external environment, which are then expressed as sound. When the visitor touches the sensitive plant, the reaction of its leaves is converted into sound, and the plant's movement and response to its environment are expressed in sound. The sound symbolizes the plant's 'inner voice' and conveys its response to external stimuli acoustically.

In this game, players will explore charming towns, meet mysterious friends, and collect various items along the way while helping Teddy's keychain on an adventurous journey.

This walking exercise system is designed to prevent frailty in the elderly. The system allows the user to perform walking exercises indoors using a stepper while watching interactive videos, which the elderly can easily create while walking outside. It aims to simultaneously take care of physical health through system use and walking and mental health through social contribution in the form of video production.

This is a logical thinking educational tool for pre-school and early primary school children that combines origami and 3DCG. In this teaching aid, origami animals can be placed in a 3DCG space, where they can move and make sounds using visual programming. The educational effects of origami, such as spatial awareness, reproducibility and creativity, can be expected.

Image generation AIs may generate images with eerie textures. Text-generating AIs may also generate enigmatic sentences that people would not come up with. These problems can be improved with advances in technology and prompting. However, this work aims to deliberately create the discomfort of AI-generated content and apply it to play.
