FUJIHATA Masaki Open Atelier “Impressing Velocity”

July 15–August 11, 1994

Outline

An exhibit of FUJIHATA Masaki’s two year investigative research at ICC into the theme of sense, experience, and imagination using Mt. Fuji as a subject. The exhibit, divided into three parts—“Scale and Speed,” “Body and Burden,” and “The Eye and Velocity”—took the form of a display, workshop, and an experiment. “Scale and Speed” (display) is a work that takes various data—velocity, height, latitude, longitude, and time—collected at the summit of Mt. Fuji by using GPS (Global Positioning System), and depicts Mt. Fuji according to that data. The visitors are able to appreciate the mountain from numerous angles by manipulating a joystick. In “Body and Burden” (workshop) the visitors themselves actually use GPS. Data of Mt. Fuji circulating throughout the exhibition space at that time is transmitted to the exhibition space in real time, thereby changing the pattern of Mt. Fuji displayed on the monitors. In “The Eye and Velocity” (experiment) visitors place a combination velocity sensor, video camera, and Head Mounted Display (HMD) on their heads. By moving their heads visitors can experience speed acceleration via the HMD display.
