Business Overview

An exhibition was held on "multi-lingua-body," an experiential installation in which users can make rhymes in multiple languages by moving their bodies and selecting words. When a projected native language word is selected by moving, it is spoken in a language that includes a non-native language that can rhyme with the same meaning as the selected word. Choices made by meaning give rise to musical comfort through a database of the sounds of the world's words. This experience extends the possibilities of expression, drawing on the properties of both words as sounds and words as symbols, more towards sounds. Even people who do not usually rhyme or make music experienced this exhibition and enjoyed creating new sounds by moving their bodies.
