In March of 2020, when the Corona disaster struck, the class I was supposed to teach as a part-time lecturer went entirely online. Since I could no longer share the real space with the students, I came up with the idea of creating a system that would allow everyone to directly interact with my space online. So, during the class, I set up a poster of a gorilla in the background of my Zoom, which could be controlled remotely via a web browser (the gorilla’s eyes would light up and the sound of a conch would ring out). This enabled communication that transcended space.

By dividing the Takasu Clinic’s sound logo and assigning each sound source to a pressure sensor. Every time you go up the stairs, you hear the words “Takasu” and “Clinic”.

Essentially, the human body is a biotope that supports life activities. However, human beings become unbearable and put a burden on their own bodies, destroying the ecosystems that compose themselves. This system is a mechanism to minimally experience the limits of the spirit and the body by applying a meaningless physical load to Karaoke, which is the release of the spirit. The pain of the thighs and the willingness to sing out highlight the meaninglessness of meaning.

This is a project to turn the humorousness of the famous gag of comedy trio representing Japan into “wisdom that leads to production” by theorizing and creating works based on it. 22 works were implemented regardless of the media selection. In addition, it was adopted as a grant, and held solo exhibitions at Tokyo and Kyoto, and held a talk event with a science communicator to examine the differences between research and production.
