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.

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.

The sea is the storehouse of carbon dioxide. It is said that the basic foundation of the ecological house is phytoplankton. For instance, a dead whale can nourish various kinds of creatures for a hundred years, of which phytoplankton are born, and then they absorb carbon dioxide that had been welded into the sea.
Thanks to the invisible boon of the seemingly unconnected incidence deep in the sea, we can sustain our life. Whether or not we are aware of this graceful gift, we are all stringed with a cord of life. This connection is not limited in the environmental world. Just as the people here were once connected through the language and the rituals, today we are here woven together through sound and light. In our artwork today, we try to describe the connection of the environment and people as a line, and it is transformed into a circle, and then the whole resonates in the Echo from the invisible boon. We would like each and every person in the audience to feel they are part of the necessary life-line of the ecosystem.
