GRADATION DAIKANYAMA

From November 22 to December 15, 2019, the art fair "GRADATION DAIKANYAMA" was held at Daikanyama TENOHA. The exhibition featured works by three video creators, presenting new viewing experiences through diverse expressions that fused video and music.

Participating artists included Ayumu Nagamatsu, who creates generative art using programming and algorithms; you tanaka, known for real-time video expression; and OTP (Otopi), recognized for retro motion graphics reminiscent of 1980s culture.

Ayumu Nagamatsu's "Somewhere in Memory" evokes fragments of memory through meticulously generated landscapes and spaces created by programming. The work combines algorithmic generation processes with poetic imagery, demonstrating the appeal unique to generative art. you tanaka's "Diversity" intuitively and strikingly expresses the theme of diversity by depicting human silhouettes through various visuals. OTP's "Get Creative" is a motion graphics piece characterized by a looped structure resembling a short animation, with scenes unfolding in rhythm.

The exhibition provided an opportunity to showcase the diverse possibilities of video expression through immersive experiences created by the combination of video and music. The coexistence of works with distinct approaches offered visitors a rich visual experience and new discoveries.
