Business Overview
Story Weaver is a piano performance that conveys a story as "It weaves the story with the sound and visuals played on the piano." by making full use of the huge visual space Deep Space at Ars Electronica Center. This project will attempt to convey Japanese culture to a wide range of people through hands-on performances, using the theme of "Tsuru no Ongaeshi," an oral tradition and folk tale known to all Japanese. "How can we convey Japan's unique culture to people of all ages around the world in a way that only a collaboration with Ars Electronica can do?" The Japanese composer Ishikawa Chiaki, who lives in Linz, and illustrator Ogawa Emiko responded to this question posed by pianist Namerikawa Maki, and Naohiro Hayaishi (visual programming), Tetsuro Yasunaga (workshop programming), and Hideaki Ogawa (art direction) joined the team.
