Location:Kudan House

Built by three architects representing Japan in 1927 (Mr. Katsura Naito, Mr. Shichiro Kinoko and Mr. Kenji Imai), this mansion is a beautiful curved Spanish design and a representative work of the early days of reinforced concrete. It is a building that has carved its name in the history of Japan.

Works

Fish Hammer(Grand Prize)

The goldfish swims around the aquarium, unaware of the sensor above which is communicating its movement to the hammer outside. The fish moves and the hammer crashes down on the miniature furniture outside. This work raises questions related to the influence of humans on the ecosystem.

Mind in the Machine(First Prize)

This piece takes the brainwave signals of the factory worker and programs the machine to create a knit that reflects her cognitive states. It is a project that reflects on the mark of the human hand in the age of mechanical production, as well as all of the anonymous human contributions involved in an economy of automation.

Typhoon I(General Prize)

This is an image of a wave generated by a typhoon transformed into a relief made of paper strips. The force of the wave is felt in the spikes and physicality of the paper.

Fusion (Student Award)

Fusion is a body surrogacy system that aims to reshape the way we communicate and collaborate. It explores a new radical way to use telepresence technology in a hybrid way by combining technology into our bodies and morphing the way of mutual collaboration.

Hack the Natural Objects.(Lion Prize)

This device incorporates features such as sensors into “natural objects” such as stones and branches. Through these sensors, users can control output such as volume and brightness by changing the natural object’s positioning. This work explores a scenery where natural things blend seamlessly with technology in an everyday setting.
