Filled with the sounds of a net-induced nirvana

This installation was a real-space adaptation of the net art piece "Space in Veda" that exonemo originally unveiled on the Internet.

"Space in Veda" was a work in which clicking on banners placed on various websites triggered multiple windows of the same sizes as the banners to pop up on the desktop and fly around while making sounds. In this adaptation translating the work into a real space, the windows materialized in the shapes of electronic billboards. Controlled by visitors to the website, the sounds and visuals exhibited/reproduced in these "window" objects reverberated throughout the Patio space in which the work was exhibited.

exonemo

Group of artists

"exonemo" is an art unit of Kensuke Sembo and Yae Akaiwa. Since 1996, they have dealt with many experimental projects that can be seen only on the web. In 2000, their installation was first introduced in a special section at Rotterdam Film Festival. After that, featuring their unique style of connecting the web and the real space, "exonemo" participated in many exhibitions both at home and abroad such as Istanbul Biennale, Roppongi Crossing, and ARS Electronica (Austria). They are currently expanding the sphere of their activities; live performance at Pompidou Center in Paris by using musical instruments of their own making, and managing the Tokyo chapter of "dorkbot," a worldwide community "doing strange things with electricity." They won the grand prize of the Net Section of ARS Electronica in 2006. In 2008 "UN-DEAD-LINK" was held in Basel, Switzerland as their first solo exhibition abroad. Their activities are based in Tokyo and http://www.exonemo.com
