Experiment / Projects / Studio Originals
Role
All Production
LOOP is a Kinetic Light Sculpture which entices you into conversation with faraway space. This artwork invoked by inspiration from the mystic energy of mystery circles and the symbolic power of an endless circle is featured in the luminous disks which have precise vertical movement. They connect, reiterate, and represent continuance, which gave birth to LOOP.
At first glance, these units look like lighting fixtures. But when switched on, they slowly begin to move up and down as if breathing, and emit light. With several units synchronized together, the movement, light, and sound begin to harmonize, and they embrace the whole space to sublimate.
LOOP is a module kinetic lighting system and easily installed, and controllable by wireless control. It is an art piece with art and a product merged together without any handling complication, when fragility and difficulty in handling are often seen in kinetic art.
DEVELOPMENT NOTICE
LOOP is currently in advanced development stage.
A special preview featuring 10 fully operational units will be exhibited at DESIGNTIDE TOKYO 2025.This kinetic light sculpture represents ongoing research in synchronized movement and light choreography.

Photosynthesis – breathing light sculpture – Space Art Tanegashima: JAPAN
05.11.25
Role
All Production
Photosynthesis is a breathing light sculpture designed to blend seamlessly into nature—emitting light within a forest as if it were alive, while also being capable of traveling into urban landscapes. This object was born from the desire to create a work that can exist both in nature and within the city.
Built around the concept of a “tree that breathes with light,” Photosynthesis takes its name from the process itself. Like plants deep in the forest that absorb and release light, the sculpture carves luminous rhythms that feel as if they are breathing—slowly inhaling and exhaling light.
The work possesses an improvisational relationship with its surroundings. Whether indoors or outdoors, it enters into dialogue with the space, generating rhythms and atmospheres that can only emerge in that specific place and moment.
Its waterproof, battery-powered, and modular structure allows the piece to function both as a lighting system and as an autonomous artwork—an example of what we call “usable art.”
Across festivals, outdoor exhibitions, live performances, and other contexts where nature and landscape play a central role, Photosynthesis becomes a device for rethinking the coexistence of technology and nature.
自然の中に溶け込み、森の中で光を放ち、呼吸するような作品。 さらにそれを、都市の風景のなかへと持ち出せるようなものを作りたい。そうした想いから、このオブジェは生まれました。
“光で呼吸する木”というコンセプトを軸に名付けたPhotosynthesis（フォトシンセス）＝光合成は、まるで森の奥深くで光を吸い、吐き出す植物たちのように、呼吸するように光を刻みます。
この作品は、即興的に風景と交わる力を持ち、屋内外を問わず空間と対話し、その場所にしか生まれないリズムと気配を創出することを可能にします。
防水・バッテリー駆動・組み換え自由という構造は、演出装置としても、ひとつの作品としても機能する”使えるアート作品”のかたちです。 フェスティバル、野外展示、ライブ演出など、自然や風景と関係性を築くあらゆるシーンにおいて、テクノロジーと自然の共生を再考するための装置となるでしょう。

Connected – 1minute Projection Mapping Competition Winners’ Exhibition 2023

Role
All Production
The concept was inspired by the theme of the event, “”””LINK””””. From this theme, we envisioned a life game in which life and death are observed.
When we look at the world from a bird’s eye view these days, we sometimes feel as if we are being manipulated by someone. Is there a connection, or was there already a connection?
This work aims to be an expression that asks that question to the audience.
