The collaboration between Yoichi Ochiai, a leading researcher on human-computer interaction and media artist, and the Kusakabe Mingeikan, which began in 2021, is a unique art project that combines the outstanding motifs that have emerged through consideration of history, nature, and the many stories handed down in the Hida region, and Ochiai's exploration of "digital nature.”
The project is a one-of-a-kind unique art project that combines the excellent motifs that have emerged from a study of history, nature, and the many stories handed down in the Hida region, with Ochiai's exploration of "digital nature" to create an installation using the entire space of the Kusakabe family residence, an important cultural property. Following the "Omnipresent Bodies: Intersecting Time and Space" exhibition held in FY 2010, this exhibition to be held in FY 2023 will focus on the concept of "object-oriented" programming design and "object-oriented ontology," a new philosophical theory of contemporary thought, to explore the new turning point for humanity brought about by the ever-evolving AI technology.
This exhibition will trace Ochiai's artistic and computational philosophical exploration of the world of "digital nature," a new turning point for humankind brought about by the ever-evolving AI technology. Depicted through the lens of various ways of thinking, concepts, and philosophy, including object-oriented programming, object-oriented ontology (ontology), Shingon, Heart Sutra, and folk art, the exhibition explores the mutually transforming nature of the material (tangibles objects) and immaterial (images and reality) worlds (the universal worldview beyond time and space that Ochiai has arrived at). Ochiai has arrived at a universal worldview that transcends time and space).
