Leaps and bounds music festival 2022
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
Milan Design Week 2022
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.
※1 MATERIAL TABLE is a collective name for material samples for which STUDIO BYCOLOR has applied for a trademark in Japan.
※2 KONOHA, GEKKA and KIHANA are trademarks applied for by Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics Corporation throughout Europe, the U.S., China and Japan.

230,000,000.
This number tells the story of “NEW” clothes discarded from apparel stores in Germany. At this very moment, an incredible number of textiles are overproduced and discarded. To make T-shirts, we need synthetic fibers, most of which are made from petroleum. In other words, when we are wearing a T-shirt, we are, in a sense, wearing petroleum. And it is said that the petroleum our dear earth holds within will be depleted in 50 years’ time from now. We are guzzling and losing natural resources of the world in our mass production and mass consumption.
But can we so easily criticize mass production? Because of it, we can enjoy dressing up on the cheap, and there are people who are making their living out of buying and selling fabrics. Superficial argument will not lead us anywhere, but then, what are we supposed to do? To begin with, let’s take up mass consumption first. With your +1 suggestion, our world may have a fresh new turn.

2億3千万。
これは毎年、ドイツのアパレルショップから捨てられる「新しい」洋服の数です。今この瞬間も、信じられないほどの織物が過剰に生産され、破棄されています。
Tシャツを作るには化学繊維が必要で、化学繊維は石油から作られます。Tシャツを着ることは、言い換えれば石油を着ることと言えるかもしれません。そして、地球に埋蔵されている石油はあと50年で枯渇すると言われています。
大量生産と大量消費によって、私たちは地球の天然資源を失いつつあります。
しかし、大量生産は本当に避難されるべきでしょうか?大量生産によって私たちはおしゃれを格安に楽しむことができ、また生地を売って生計を立てている人もいるのです。
表面的な議論は何にもつながりません。では、私たちは何をすべきでしょうか?
大量消費について今日から考えてみましょう。あなたの+1のアイデアで、この世界が変わるかもしれません。
