Big in Japan

back to tokyo again, this time icc was not closed so i went there and by incident i met one guy from the cherry blossom party with ichiro. he had a meeting with the curator of icc and he introduced me to her. she said she is interested in seeing some of my works. so next time in tokyo maybe i can meet her. well to the exhibition. i saw christa and laurents work which is an installation in the entrance hall. i didnt really understand it because everything was in japanese. only very basic information was provided in english. thumbs down icc.

this installation “juggler” from gregory barsamian was very impressive. a huge ringelspiel that has 16 frames of an animation as parts. the whole things starts to turn and in a certain speed the animation is playing. watch and enjoy.

famous tenori-on from toshio iawai was also there. i have seen it at ars before. i love it. really nice tool.

i also liked this installation very much. you get a card with a number written on it an you have to pass gates to make arithmetic calculations. the aim is to reach 73. then you are allowed to leave the arithmetik garden from masahiko sato and takashi kiriyama. after leaving succesfully you get a receipt with your path and time. very nice and simple thing.

after icc we went to see yokohama. actually we went to see one building…. i was with architects ;-)
