Avatars
For this installation, So Kanno + yang02 composed all kinds of differently sized objects, including a telephone, a traffic cone, a plaster figure, a car, and a plant. Cameras, microphones, monitors and microcomputers are embedded in everyday objects arranged in the exhibition space, and connected to the Internet. Visitors can experience the work by logging in to / “riding” each object via a web browser. Those objects exist as substitutes of – yet together with – real human beings (the visitors) in the same real environment that is subject to physical laws, rather than operating in a virtual space. Against the backdrop of the age of IoT, where all kinds of things are connected through networks, and artificial intelligence is about to mature, this work observes the new relationships that emerge when inorganic, non-autonomous objects transform into persons that act and perceive the world according to their own intentions.
本作は、電話やカラーコーン、石膏像、車、植物など大小さまざまなオブジェクトで構成されるインスタレーション作品です。 空間に配置される日常的なオブジェクトには、カメラ、マイク、モーター、小型コンピューターなどが組み込まれ、インターネットに接続されており、鑑賞者はウェブブラウザから各オブジェクトにログイン(憑依)して作品を体験することが可能です。自分の身代わりとして存在するアバターは、仮想空間ではなく物理法則が支配する現実空間に存在し、そこには生身の人間(観客)も存在します。IoTに代表されるようにあらゆる物がネットワーク化され、人工知能が成熟しようとしている現在、自律性を持たない無機物である物たちが、意思を持った者となり世界を知覚し動き出した時、そこに立ち上がってくる新たな関係性を観察する作品です。
