What can we look forward to the future Motion Texture?

Currently, we prepare an exhibition of the installation in Tokyo. We are planning to make this exhibition with an up-graded system, solving some tasks we have found through the experience at Sendai mediatheque. We are also in a progress of making a web version of Motion Texture. I hope we can create something of “existing images” featuring CG and web with our originality, which no one else can create.

Can you introduce some of your projects you are currently working on?

First of all, I’m working on own original image. This is a part of the regular announcement of our original works. I think I’m putting much effort into this; I shot a person hang in midair and constructed a background with full of CG techniques.

This is not directly related to my work, but there is some activity going on in the office and we try to take 3% out of our whole work time to reading. At a certain time, all designers get together and read different genres of books.

What is your concept of the SHIFT cover this month?

Something rustling in the wind inspires us to imagine that invisible wind, moves our hearts, and makes us forefeel something to be happened in the future. The bottom doesn’t change but time passes and the world changes. It is not “Change” but “Shift”. I visualized an image of impermanence and eternity.

What do you plan, and what do you want to challenge in the future?

I want to quest an expression that exists only in the present. For this sake, I believe it is important to set a base with grounds and philosophy at the bottom not only to seek for a visual expression. I want to seek for a visual design which is an extension of a flow of science and philosophy. I want to express my sensitivity through such design. This can’t be accomplished only by individual production, also not only by work. Crystallizing an inspiration generated from a border line between own ideas and skilled expression I’ve learned at WOW is an experiment of a pure expression which exist in a gap of self-assertiveness and pursuit of own interest. Excitement when I created an image for the first time. Expression of a combination of “thinking” and “creating”. We want to gather various information, think, and share to actualize this excitement.

Please leave some message to the readers.

When we look back on the present decades later, I hope we could say it is full of amusing expressions. I want to see many works and create them, too. I wish all of us could be a co-production.
