An overnight collaboration between artist Akira Wakita and a lighting specialist AIBA on the stage of Sel Octagon Tokyo, which opened in Roppongi in February 2019.
What kind of body sense and meaning world did human ancestors have before getting from the sea to the land? By bringing humanity back from the land to the sea, we exhibit an installation that runs backwards in the evolutionary process and calls for the memory of Devonian sleeping deep in our DNA.
The visualization of natural phenomena projected on a large LED display and space rendering using 10 lasers can experience an overwhelming space synchronized to a very high level.
