The exhibition is developed at the interface between the Jomon period and contemporary computer science, elaborately capturing the emptiness in the digital nature. The new "organic deformable mirror" and the LED "null installation" will become a mirror of mutual influence, creating a new resonance between material and immaterial, digital and organic, real and unreal. A new resonance is created between the material and immaterial, the digital and organic, the real and unreal. The philosophy of harmony and unity with nature explored by the Jomon people is rediscovered in today's computer-generated nature.

The philosophy of "void is color, color is void" is embodied as a digital "null" through this unique interplay of media. The "organic deforming mirror" reflects the flexibility and fluidity of the material world, encouraging an exploration of Jomon-era genes and a dialogue with computational nature. The LED "null installation," on the other hand, expresses the rigorous logic and impermanence of digital nature.

Such dialogue and resonance transcends the disappointment of the lack of progress or extinction and embraces the possibility of realizing new joys, sorrows, and nirvana of computational nature in daily life. It is the implementation of a new nature, a nomadic, sedentary yet sharable commons. It will be a new pathway to the evolution of human thought as a new species, before extinction.

The "Organic Transforming Mirror" will also serve as an implementation experiment for the moving exterior of “Null2," the signature pavilion at the 2025 Japan International Expo (Osaka-Kansai Expo), for which Yoichi Ochiai is the producer of the theme project. This is the latest experiment in Ochiai's constant challenge to create works of novelty.
