21_21 DESIGN SIGHT

21_21 DESIGN SIGHT holds "AUDIO ARCHITECTURE" Exhibition from June 29, 2018, welcoming Yugo Nakamura as its director, whose unique forms of expression are highly regarded in web design, interface design and film.

Within the music familiar to our everyday life, is a combination of elements; layers of tone, sonic range and rhythm form a densely designed structure - architecture. There are few opportunities, however, to be conscious of this structure in particular.

Musician Keigo Oyamada (Cornelius) has written a new music with a focus on its structure exclusively for this exhibition; it is interpreted from the varying perspectives of spirited creators into disparate video works. Participating in this exhibition are nine creators who challenge new modes of expression with original sensibilities, by traversing fields of film, animation, dance, graphic design, illustration, programming and media design. Exhibition graphic is designed by Masakazu Kitayama (Help!).

The exhibition tries to construct a type of "audio architecture" by repeating the music paired to various films over and over, in the space dynamically designed by Masamichi Katayama (Wonderwall). Please come and discover a fresh perspective on music in the venue integrating sound, video and space.
