テクノロジーの進化は、私たちの眼差しを拡張し、これまで捉えられなかった現実を鮮やかに映し出す。サーモグラフィーは温度という見えないエネルギーを可視化し、物体検知はそこに「ある」はずのない存在を警告する。それは、科学の力が、世界の隠された側面を、私たちの日常へと引き寄せる試みと言えるだろう。
この作品は、その流れの中で、人間の視覚に残る一瞬の記憶、「残像」に焦点を当てる。デジタル技術を駆使することで、通常は意識の奥底に消えゆくその微かな痕跡を、具体的なイメージとして再構築する。それは、過ぎ去った光の軌跡を、再び私たちの目の前に立ち上がらせる実験だ。
展示空間では、鑑賞者自身の動きが、リアルタイムに残像として映し出されるインタラクティブな仕掛けが用意されている。あなたが手を動かせば、その動きの余韻が、まるで幽霊のように、あなたの背後や横に淡く現れる。それは、自分の過去の行動が、現在の自分に重なり合う、不思議な感覚をもたらすだろう。
この体験を通じて、私たちは、普段意識しない「時間」の流れや、「記憶」の曖昧さを、視覚的に表現する。それは、ハイテクが生み出す、単なる視覚的な面白さではなく、私たち自身の存在や認識のあり方を、改めて問い直すきっかけとなるかもしれない。科学とアートの交差点で生まれるこの試みは、見えない現実を捉え、新たな認識の地平を切り開く、具体的な一歩となることを目指している。
The evolution of technology has expanded our eyes to vividly reflect a reality that was previously elusive. Thermography makes visible the invisible energy of temperature, and object detection alerts us to entities that are not “supposed” to be there. It can be said to be an attempt by the power of science to bring the hidden aspects of the world into our daily lives.
In this vein, this work focuses on “afterimages,” the fleeting memories that linger in human vision. By making full use of digital technology, the artist reconstructs these faint traces, which normally fade into the recesses of our consciousness, as tangible images. It is an experiment to make the traces of light that have passed stand up again before our eyes.
In the exhibition space, there is an interactive device that projects the viewer's own movements as afterimages in real time. When you move your hands, the afterimages of your movements appear faintly behind and beside you, as if you were a ghost. This will bring about a strange sensation of your past actions overlapping with your present self.
Through this experience, we visually express the flow of “time” and the ambiguity of “memory,” of which we are usually unaware. This is not just a visual fascination created by high-tech, but it may also trigger us to rethink our own existence and perception. This attempt, born at the intersection of science and art, aims to be a concrete step forward in capturing invisible reality and opening up new horizons of perception.
