"Sharelog" graphically displays abstract trajectories of viewers' train usage history as they place their IC travel card, such as Suica or PASMO, over the terminal. They can enjoy looking back at their past activities or guessing the activities of their friends who experience this work together. This work produces a different display depending on the daily activities of the participants. "Sharelog" can also be said to be a new-age work of "Public Art" since it is based on the use of the everyday IC card.

"info-sea-Flowers" is poetic software that delivers e-mail massages after converting them into flower graphics. It compares the communication of feelings that cannot be expressed in words only, or communication unrestricted by the meaning or content of the words, to the act of "sending flowers."

Words typed in by various people over the Internet bloom inside the ICC premises and are presented to visitors who happen to stop by ICC.

"inTouch" is a medium that enables users, who are separated from each other by distance, to communicate through touch. Specifically, force-feedback technology is employed to makes the users feel as if they are operating a shared physical object. This research project embodies the concept of expanding targets of info-communication research from sound, text, and computer graphics to "tangible information," and has inspired many researchers, designers, and businesspersons since it was unveiled in 1997.

This is a net project with two-way connection established between cultural facilities, research institutes, and festival sites to launch multipoint information streaming and joint events. Usually, a high-resolution overhead view of the entrance or gallery space of each facility is transmitted in order to share the spaces at remote locations in real time. When an artist's talk or performance event takes place, cameras are installed at the venue for real time video streaming of the event. It is possible to receive questions from the satellite sites connected via the network.
