Dust has been awarded New Face Award by 21st Japan Media Arts Festival. We are grateful for a chance to exhibit in Tokyo and to attend award ceremony in person.
“This work utilizes VR technology to depict another world that transcends the visual, rather than replicate a pseudo reality. The production, which draws inspiration from the particles that compose space, dissolves the boundary between the body and space through the movement of dance, and attempts to reconstruct that existence and relationship within the concept of time. By leveraging the VR disadvantage of a lack of tactility, the user is disengaged from his or her own body and merges with the particles drifting in space and time. The dancer and various architectural expressions are unique and provide a fresh impression that differs from the immersion of so-called ordinary VR.”
