Tano Taiga shows a performance in which he draws portraits of people according to his own images after gathering textual information about the characteristics of his chat partners' faces. When chatters are far away from each other, visual information is being transmitted through verbal communication?DDifferent from conventional portraits drawn by sight, Tano's work highlights subtle notions of communication, focusing on how the "models" are seeing themselves, how they respond to the artist's questions, and what kinds of drawings come out at the end.
