Structural 3DCG Animation [*my_design&event]
Basically, simply repeated graphics make beautiful geometry.
Context Free is such as the 2D geometric shapes drawing software.
http://www.contextfreeart.org/
And in 3DCG, try "Structure Synth".
http://structuresynth.sourceforge.net/
In 3DCG Animation or 4D world,
Quartz composer is one of the best software, I think.
Quartz composer is development tool in Mac OSX User Interface Programming.
But it's often used for Visual making tool for VJ's.
It's very easy to use. The functions is appear visualy in the window.
And patch each function box to make the graphic flows.
You can make interesting 2D/3D Animations only patch it.
If you want to make more complexity animation,
you can use javascript and OpenGL Shading Language(GLSL).
And the Quartz Composer tool is free for Mac OSX User!
If you have OSX Update Disc, Install the Development tools,
and search it in the "Developer" folder.
I made the demo and tutorial movies.
The below link is for a 4DCG animation by Quartz composer.

But I can't understand enough for The 4D world.
The world is a wide place :)
Design for Wedding [*my_design&event]
In those cases, It's often used Calligraphy hand writting
or such as the hand made art.
I thought the couple (especially, the groom) had
a well balanced life. And they'll grow up with a lot of the trying.
I used algorithmic generated CG by "Structure Synth" software
to express them.
It's preset data "tree".
Some of the pattern,
and layouted.
Signboard at the Gate
For the entrance,
I putted the wings into acrylic resin box with a lot of the feather.
In my story, the lovely wings was formed by the feathers :-)
Next time, I want to make a funiture with such as the algorithmic generated design.

My first GEISAI. [*my_design&event]
GEISAI is Japanese Art event produced by Takashi Murakami, Contemporary artist.
It was expected to attract about 10 thousand visitors.
The Event have no audition for the exhibiting.
Any you can join the event, even pay the booth charge.
The feature make it as a asian chaotic atmosphere, not looks like a gallery.
My exhibits was here,
Balloon Screen :
Projected Video image to the inside of the layerd Balloon, by LED Light Video Projector
share chair 07 :
That's same chair at last year's Tokyo Designer's week.
But last sunday, I focused to the Video Screen function
to be felt the experience to sit down at the video image.
LEGO VJ :
Generated Video image at then and there by LEGO brick and small camera.
That was the first time to exhibit such as media oriented works for me.
And the system was not working well. I lost the exhibiting time for the maintenance.
But I could enjoy.
BTW, One of the Event's feature was The audition.
They place exhibitors in the orders by their judgements, and show us our each ranks.
My lank is 240/600. Not bad, but not good...
This year's Exhibition. [*my_design&event]
In This year, I'll not make new chair but I make more media using things.
My first GEISAI was at last sunday. ( sorry, already ended. )
And next Event GEISAI #11 willl be at september,14 .
Don't miss the next!

last year's my chair and the transformation [*my_design&event]
my latest chair in the wild. [*my_design&event]
This week, I showed my new transformable chair "share chair"
at Zero Exhibition in Tokyo Designer's Week.
Thank your comming to my demonstration space.
When you use the chair, you share your place and feeling
with your lovely people by the impressive interaction.
That's my concept.
And The new model have light up capable function.
You can put a light, Video projector and home planetarium inside the chair
to project the light to the cover. you can sit down at the light.
In the picture, I put Video projector with fisheye lenz
into the chair to project video images from the inside of the chair.
And I used PS3 to play the video.
That's the transforming Demo. Thank you and Enjoy!
F1 on the chair [*my_design&event]
Last night, I enjoyed this year's final F1 Gramd Prix.
The ending was dramatic and It's enought
to be satisfied us the coming new generation.
When I was watching TV,
I have tried to project the TV image from the inside of my chair.
The picture is the test.
