The exhibitors include engineers and artists with diverse titles that defy existing frameworks, such as AR drummers, XR engineers, and VRChat dancers.
The theme of this exhibition is “An experimental ground for XR experiences that fuse inside and outside.” AR/VR technology and the gallery space in Minami-Aoyama are envisioned as a “courtyard” in architecture, and works where physical and digital spaces intersect will be on display.
Furthermore, on Saturday, March 21st, an audiovisual performance combining XR technology with music and video will also be held.
Artist Introduction
【Exihibition】
Dolphiiiin Technical Artist / Creator
While primarily creating works in VRChat, they produce diverse pieces using “technology x expression” that transcends the boundaries of real and virtual.
donabe XR/Game Engineer
I have conducted research and developed games, primarily focusing on XR, at university and graduate school. Recently, my main activity has been developing works that transform the real world into a game space by overlaying virtual elements.
Ekito AR Guitarist / Technical Director
We are exploring the creation of experiences that fuse urban spaces, narratives, sound, and music, utilizing technologies such as augmented reality. We superimpose information not visible in everyday life and fictional urban images onto the physical urban space.
This artist uses XR to expand the realm where reality and dreams intersect. They create works such as audio-visual performances and installations, using the resulting “surrealism” as a medium.
Sakutama AR Drummer / XR Engineer
As drummer and technical director for the cyborg band Doombox, I explore musical productions using AR and LEDs. My recent theme is intuitive interactive experiences using “items.”
Hamachan XR Engineer / Creator
We are passionate about creating immersive experiences through “cards.” Using XR technology and card representation as our starting point, we offer a new way to interact with the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds.
Fav – XR Engineer / Creator / VRDancer
Born and raised in the virtual world. While creating content primarily in VRChat, I am exploring unique ways to connect the real and virtual worlds through avatars.
