About Cells in Dialogue with the Landscape

At Dream Plaza, experience an immersive adventure inside cells that respond to the landscape! A limited-time, new sensory art installation that merges XR and tactile sensations will also be on display.

風景と対話する細胞について

Get an immersive experience inside a giant cell-like ball that responds to the landscape. Three XR BALLs are born from a physical ball, where virtuality and reality intersect.

In particular, the artwork that combines XR and tactile sensations, developed by ExMetaClub in collaboration with Keio University's Graduate School of Media Design, invites you to a new physical sensation in which events in virtual space can be felt as tactile sensations in real space.

Celestial Bodies

天体
The Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun, rising and setting each day. Whether rain or shine, time gently flows.

Water and Sky

水空
Water and air meld together, forming bubbles and creating ambiguous boundaries. The landscape wavers and shifts, distorting as it changes.

Light Green

光緑
Decayed cells come back to life, and leaf veins awaken. A new breath of greenery is quietly spreading.
Let's shine a light inside the Circulation Ball by holding up a physical smartphone.

Date : 9/27 (Friday) - 10/6 (Sunday)

The Echoes of Tactile Sensation
Celestial Bodies Special Event

By experiencing AR art through tactile devices, a sense of "echoes" is created, as if your body’s cells are remembering the sensation. How long will these echoes of virtual reality linger in your body once you’ve physically touched it?

In the project's main area, ``Dream Plaza,'' you can have an immersive experience in which you step inside a giant cell-like ball that responds to the landscape. Particular attention will be paid to the experimental artwork that combines XR and haptics, developed by ExMetaClub in collaboration with Keio University Graduate School of Media Studies.
