Transformation of the Horizon

This artwork transforms the horizons seen from Roppongi Hills. This piece adds light and images to the lines that form the boundary between sky and earth. Using a computer and a display device, here I draw “Material Transformation of Digital Nature" on the borderline of ideas seen from the observatory location. photo: Yoichi Ochiai
