Business Overview
This project is to exhibit installation works in the Japanese section of the London Design Biennale held in London in 2021. Various textures scattered in the urban spaces of Tokyo and London were collected using 3D scanning technology, processed and combined using digital modeling, and created a relief of approximately 1.8 m in height and 8 m in width using digital fabrication and papier-mache techniques. In the exhibition, a texture map of a digital model was projected on the surface of the relief by projection mapping, and a system that reproduces various environmental sounds collected in Tokyo and London in response to the movement of visitors was incorporated.
