An exhibition of research results and artworks on the theme of "invisible water" will be held at the satellite in front of Kashiwanoha Campus Station of the University of Tokyo.
Organized and presented by the Fukunaga Lab's "Watershed Environment Design Studio" (Department of Sociocultural and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo), which traces the trajectories and socio-cultural layers of those who live with water and explores its future image.
The works on display include: Fu Sakai, who is inspired by geography, history, and architecture while working across media; Minato Yamashita, who has a background in biological research and forms a network of various objects and people as a "mediator" between art and science, which interactively generates light and sound, allowing viewers to imagine the future from a variety of perspectives. Hatsune Suzuki creates art materials from natural materials such as shells and plants that she collects and cultivates in nature, combining them with classical painting techniques to develop her unique production activities.
This is an attempt to imagine and feel again the surface of waterways and water that have been relegated underground and hidden from view in the modern city.
