"Beyond Pages"
1995
FUJIHATA Masaki

A small chamber equipped with a desk and a chair. On the table lies a virtual picture book, the pages of which show one item each in images and letters, such as a picture of an apple and "apple" written next to it. When the visitor touches the apple, someone bites into it, accompanied by the sound of biting into an apple; when touching the picture of a door on another page the door of the actual space opens, and for an instant a child appears in it; touching a lamp switches on the actual desk lamp.Each page of the picture book offers various experiences and little surprises. "Beyond Pages" adds a taste of fantasy to the austerity of a study room, inviting visitors to experience according to their own sensibilities abrupt shifts of images and words (=signals) from the closed frame of a book to changes in the real environment. A simple setting and a brief interaction. On the level of individual humans as modern forms of intelligence facing table, chair and book, FUJIHATA offers connections that take the recipient beyond the given formats. Not only does this work provide of the potential of "books" in the digital age, but it serves as an interface that reminds us of the original functions of books: plays in the sphere of cognition and imagination.
