PHOTON: INVISIBLE UNIVERSE is an experiment of a new astronomical photograph that thinks PHOTO from PHOTON. By using a special lens called a lenticular, we dynamically superimpose visible light photos and invisible light of a radio telescope to invite the sensuality behind our world. he sense and life that we have not seen yet extends beyond this light.
NOSIGNER is a social innovation design firm that creates beautiful relationships by identifying the new cross-point and questions between design and society. Our team encourages multidisciplinary approaches combining graphic, product, and space design. We also encompass design strategies including the creation of business models and policy proposals. http://nosigner.com/
Entitled “The Circuit of Consciousness”, this graphic artwork is a study of the “consciousness” of Tokyo Electron (TEL).
The artwork draws on text data from TEL’s Corporate Vision and other publications, and makes use of neural network analysis to identify which words are closest in meaning, then line them up one after the other.
These innumerable words dwell subconsciously inside the brains of TEL employees; each of them gradually spawns new circuits of consciousness, leading to future invention.

"Lexikon-Vocabulary solaé version" by Ryuta Iida who "carves" the book.
The work is utilizing the Encyclopaedia Britannica published in the United States around 1901 (first published first published between 1768 and 1771 in Scotland, United Kingdom).
It consists of innumerable printed letters and a large amount of paper, it is a masterpiece, and various imagination is evoked from the variety of words sinking underneath the layers of paper.
Faced with this work, you can think of how we receive intangible "data" every day since the advance of the Big Data Society.

Boundary" is a new work by artist Maki Ohkojima, who depicts the all things in nature. For the solaé art gallery, she pieced together small pieces of leather to create a giant 7 to 8-meter-long whale half-body. In 2017, she participated in the Tara Pacific Ocean Project, a scientific exploration vessel led by the Tara Ocean Foundation, supported by agnès b.
Whales are one of the motifs she has been painting for a long time since participating in that project, and the whale motif expresses the "cycle of life." The sight of a dying whale, which she saw for the first time when she boarded the ship, brought her a strong image of the cycle of life and symbiosis among the diverse sea creatures.
Maki Ohkojima
1987 Born in Tokyo , Japan
Ohkojima stands "between" in the contact zone of different things, and depicts the entangled aspects of life and death. Major awards the VOCA Encouragement Prize in 2014. Participated in artist-in-residence programs in Japan, India, Mexico, France, Poland, China and the TARA Expedition of Ocean Science Research. In recent years, in addition to exhibitions in museums and galleries, she has also been involved in stage design.

Mr. Fuchigami creates his works using semiconductor chips crushed into fragments based on ideas derived from his background in quantum physics.
This connects quantum mechanics, which closely examines the true nature of our reality, with art, using semiconductors as critical elements.It expresses the yearning and awe towards the material world beyond the range of human intelligence and perception and the universe.
Many of his works can inspire as both micro-particles and celestial bodies. The use of semiconductors' structural colors,which shine in rainbow colors depending on the angle, against a black background simultaneously presents the grandeur of human technology and the vastness of the universe.

Born in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan in 1995. Graduated from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science and Technology.After working as an SE at Fujitsu Limited, he left the company and is currently working as an artist, participating in exhibitions and art fairs mainly in Tokyo.

The structure of a semiconductor is composed of three electrical characteristics: Insulator, semiconductor, and conductor.
He used drawing materials with different mediums (oil-based, glue-based, water-based) to express these electrical properties visually and with re-solvability.
The pattern generation utilizes a mathematical model called cellular automaton. He also developed a program specifically for this artwork to simulate hand-drawn noise.
For output, he used a drawing machine called a pen plotter. After the drawing was completed, it was dissolved in water, forming different expressions in each cell. This represents the generation of information through the conduction of the semiconductor.
Goro Murayama
Born in 1983 in Tokyo. Artist. Ph.D. in Fine Art. Guest Associate Professor of Contemporary Thought and Philosophy at the University of Tokyo and a Part-time Lecturer in the Department of Imaging Arts and Sciences at Musashino Art University and the Graduate School of Tohoku University of Art & Design. Murayama, who studied painting, explores the temporality and emergence of human acts of creation (poiesis) within the theoretical frameworks of biological systems and the philosophy of science. As seen in his representative series Woven Paintings, Murayama expresses the processes and patterns of self-organization through his drawings and paintings. In recent years, Murayama has extended his artistic endeavors by collaborating with scientists on AI pattern recognition and generation.
「Mosaic of Emotion」
“In our personal lives various emotions well up. The complexity of emotions is a combination of
personal feelings and experiences, and it doesn't form a perfect shape but rather takes on a
distorted form. That is the form that holds human qualities. And I want to create following this idea
and ton avoid the reduction of generative art to just the visualization of mathematical formulas."
「Neptune」
"The theme of this work is Neptune. The orbs finally arrived at Neptune. They stepped outside to
explore the planet. Upon closer inspection of the ground, they noticed patterns resembling traces of
flowing water. And they are discussing these strange patterns."
NUM
A generative artist born in 1995 in Mie Prefecture. Using the programming language 'Processing,' his work explores the theme of 'the fusion and interaction of digital and analog as a new method of expression.' By expressing textures that resemble hand-drawn work through programming, his aim is not only to incorporate digital technology into analog forms of expression but also to pioneer new methods of expression.
