There is the tiniest thing in the universe called a fundamental particle. Some of them assemble together and form a world and some flew from the fathomless part of the universe and travel through our bodies. Even though we have not known much about how these invisible particles precisely work and what they bring to us, some think they have some effective power on things and even on human mind.
Thinking of their miraculous existence, we made this artwork in mind that if these particles can exert their power on our mind and body, then they must have some effective power on architecture since they are material as well. The particles shot from space pierce through us and the effect spreads throughout the world. And the seemingly far-away space must be linked with the world spreading in front of our eyes.

素粒子という最も小さな物質がある。あるものは集合して世界を形作り、あるものは宇宙の果てから来て私たちの身体を通り抜ける。肉眼では捉えられないこれらの粒子が何をもたらすのかはまだ知られていないことも多く、一見個々に離れた物質や人の心にまで何らかの影響を及ぼしているという見方もある。
今回の作品は、この不思議な存在に思いを馳せながら「もし我々の身体や心に素粒子たちが影響を及ぼしているとしたら、物質である建物にも何らかの作用が働いているはずだ」という思考のもと作られた。
宇宙空間から放たれた素粒子が我々を通り抜け、その影響が世界に広がっていく。遠く離れているように感じる宇宙は、思ったより目の前の世界と近く繋がっているのかもしれない。

Rhythm And Line Act 2 – Leaps and bounds music festival 2022

Role
All Production


In July, 2022, we exhibited “Rhythm And Line” at Richmond Town Hall in Melbourne, Australia, the second time around following Weimar,Germany.
We restructured it as “Rhythm And Line Act 2” to narrate the lines of Richmond Town Hall. We were very happy to be given the opportunity to show it again at a different venue since “Rhythm And Line” is one of our favorite artworks. We would like to express our hearty thanks to those staff of “Leaps and Bounds Music Festival 2022” and the members of the team who gave us hands to finalize this artwork.

22年の7月にオーストラリアのメルボルンのRichmond Town Hallにてドイツのワイマールに次ぐ2回目となる”Rhythm And Line”を公開していました。
“Rhythm And Line”は Richmond Town Hallの形状に合わせて完全に再構築しました。”Rhythm And Line”は我々にとってもお気に入りの作品の一つなので、こうして別の場所で再演できる機会をいただけた事は大変うれしい限りです。
Leaps and bounds music festival 2022 のスタッフ、そして制作に携わっていただいたチームの皆さんのサポートがあってやっと作品の完成ができました。心から感謝しています。

Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics Corporation exhibited a collection featuring a new material of sophisticated polycarbonate resin developed by the company at Milan Design Week 2022 from June 6 (Mon) to 12 (Sun). The exhibition showcased a material table KONOHA (*1), a wearable material sample GEKKA, and a color sample KIHANA (*2), designed by STUDIO BYCOLOR, whose work draws out the authenticity of colors and the essence of materials.
This innovative material can retain its durability while applying colors, such as pearl, lamé, and other luminous elements, to the base material through exclusive technology. FLIGHTGRAF took part in creating the animation footage used in this exhibition.
This collection is a communication tool developed to communicate the fascination of the material to everyone engaged in the design industry. Furthermore, it is a material with futuristic potential for reducing CO2 and VOC emissions by eliminating the painting process that is conventionally required. It has received numerous design awards and is drawing attention from worldwide audiences as an outstanding commodity.
The installation ‘FOR / PRO / DUCT’ examines the future of manufacturing and designing from the foundation (=materials) at Gallery Rossana Orlandi, home of the “Guilt-less Plastic” activity at Milan Design Week. We hope that you will experience a sense of innovative technology designed to address future directions in the long history of design through this installation.
