Business Overview
As a biological researcher active in the field of art, he held a solo exhibition with the following three main objectives. 1. Offering a fresh viewing experience that is possible only by combining the expertise of biology and the approach of art, and bringing new developments in the context of the fusion of science and art. 2. In particular, create opportunities for viewers to imagine the cells that make up their own bodies and to look at themselves from a new perspective. This brings about a new sense of self that remains in the life after the viewing experience. 3. Create opportunities to consider analogies between cellular data and one's own data in relation to the individual and public. This provides an opportunity to gain a new perspective on a society flooded with data. After the exhibition, a collection of records was produced and distributed.
