Taking a walk with the eyes only

Installation enabling visitors to leap through a space by movements of their eyes.

Monitors with attached video cameras were installed at various points at YCAM, from where images were transmitted live to a monitor inside the booth for participants. When focusing on one of the camera/monitor units in the video transmission, the images switched to show the scenery filmed by the camera of that particular unit. In the process, the participant's feeling of immersion in the images is enormously amplified, resulting in a sensation as if leaping at a breakneck speed from one point to another within a real space.

Profiles

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
