Environmental Phenomena
2020
作品自身無法單獨存在，環境產生現像，現像創造出了作品的存在。
迄今為止人類制造出來的事物，就像石頭一樣由物質形成存在，其自身具有穩定的結構。與這些事物不同的是，本作品的存在本身是由環境創造的。
環境產生現像，環境使得這個存在的結構維持穩定。這個存在我們稱它為環境現像。
存在將迄今為止構成存在的因素從物質中釋放出來，日常生活中隨處可見的空氣、水、光等會因特殊環境而產生奇特的現像，這種現像就是存在。而這種存在的界限是模糊且連續的。即使人們破壞了作品，只要環境被維持著，作品就會繼續存在。相反，當環境得不到維持時，作品就會消失殆盡。人們的意識，將從存在本身擴展到環境。
當我們把石頭放在一個與外界隔絕的密封盒子裡時，它仍會繼續存在，但生命如果被放在這樣一個密封盒子裡，就無法維持它的存在了。生命也是因環境而維持下去的存在。
或許生命本身，也是在這打開的世界中、連續的流逝中的奇跡般的現像。
FEATURED WORKS

浮游的巨大雕塑，從泡沫的海洋中誕生，超越了質量的概念，既不沉入地面，也不觸及天花板，而是在空間的正當中漂浮。這個漂浮的雕塑存在的輪廓是模糊的，它時而被粉碎變得更小，也會粘在一起變得更大。即使人們將身體整個沉浸到這個雕塑中，它的存在也依然維持，即使被人們破壞，它也會自我修復。然而，當團塊被破壞到超過其自我修復範圍的上限時，它會因為來不及修復而逐漸崩潰。並且，即使人們想要推開或移走它，也無法移動這個雕塑；如果人們扇起風，雕塑甚至會隨風消散。人類的物理行為，甚至無法移動這個雕塑。石頭以及迄今為止人類制造出來的事物，都是物體，其本身具有穩定的結構。當我們把石頭放在一個與外界隔絕的密封盒子裡時，它仍會繼續存在。另一方面，在海洋中誕生的漩渦，如果移入一個封閉的盒子裡，瞬間就會消失。也就是說，漩渦並不能依靠其本身來保持穩定的結構。漩渦是環境產生的流動中的存在，是由水從漩渦的外部流向內部，又從內部流向外部的持續流動而創造的。由流動所產生的具有秩序的結構使得漩渦得以維持，並隨流動而變化。而且，其存在的輪廓是模糊的，漩渦及其外部都是由水構成的，它們在物質上沒有任何區別。通過創造一個非物體的特殊環境，借由該環境產生的能量秩序來創造存在。我們將這種由能量秩序形成的存在稱為“Higher-Order Sculpture”。它與環境不可分割，並隨環境的變化而變化。它超越了以往由物體構成的存在的常識，在半空中維持其存在，且存在的輪廓是模糊的。即使人們將身體整個沉浸到該存在中，其存在也依然維持，即使被破壞也能自我修復。這是一種以開放系統為前提的雕塑。在這個空間裡，從物質上講，只有非常普通的肥皂、水和空氣存在。用泡沫填滿空間，創造出一個特殊的環境，並在空間內產生能量的秩序。這樣一來，一個巨大的團塊從泡沫的海洋中誕生、漂浮起來，並靜止在半空中。從現今的生物學角度來說，還無法對生命進行嚴格的定義，但為了方便起見，我們將以細胞為組成單位、能進行新陳代謝並自我繁殖的事物稱為生物。換句話說，所有生物都是由細胞組成的。並且，所有細胞都被由脂質雙層結構組成的細胞膜所包圍。雙層結構的外側具有親水性，雙層結構的層與層之間具有疏水性，所包裹的囊狀物外部和內部都是水。肥皂泡也同樣被脂質雙層的膜所包裹，構成這個雕塑的氣泡，在結構上與細胞膜相同。不過，氣泡的脂質雙層結構與細胞相反，雙層結構的外側具有疏水性，雙層結構的層與層之間則具有親水性，因此囊狀物外部和內部都是空氣。也就是說，如果細胞是水中的囊狀膜，那麼氣泡就是空氣中的囊狀膜。這個雕塑是由與生物的組成單位——細胞相同結構的物質，以及環境產生的能量秩序所創造出來的。生命也同樣，從外部吸收物質和能量作為食物，向外部排放物質，並在將能量向外耗散的同時，構建起有序的結構。生命就像漩渦一樣，是存在於外部環境產生的物質與能量流動之中的，其存在的輪廓是模糊的。生命的結構正是這種流動所創造的能量秩序，生命或許就是存在於物質與能量流動中的一種神奇現像。

All life exists within the flow of matter and energy, and the flow itself creates and maintains its structure.This differs fundamentally from objects that possess an independent, static, and stable structure, such as stones, iron, or the artifacts humans have historically created.The artwork does not stand by trapping air inside and relying on its internal pressure. The inlet and outlet are the same size, and air continuously flows through the inside. By that very flow, the artwork stands, maintaining its structure and existence. If the flow stops, the material remains, but the artwork ceases to exist.Here, the object is not being moved by the flow. The flow itself creates the structure and gives rise to existence.The artwork is strongly influenced by the environment, such as wind, rain, and humidity, significantly changing its movement and height. As long as the environment that gives rise to existence is maintained and the flow continues, the artwork’s existence is maintained even whilst it constantly changes shape.It is continually moving, flexible, soft, and fragile.Pillar of Constant Flux is an attempt to expand sculpture from a fixed object into an existence whose structure continues to be generated by a continuous flow within an open environment. Rather than the artist directly creating the shape, the artist creates an environment in which existence is born. Here, the condition for the existence of sculpture shifts from matter to the order created by flow.

* Dusk to dawn on heavy rainy daysOn a night of heavy rain, the falling rain over the grassland becomes an artwork.Countless masses of light float in the air, each one composed of two colors. The boundaries of each color are clearly separated as though they are solid.The seemingly solid color separation of the masses of light is not seen in the natural world, and is caused by extreme synchronization. Through self-organization over time, this synchronization phenomenon creates a large ordered structure.When you touch a solidified light, you realize that the visible part is part of something that continues to flow without interruption.Life is a phenomenon like crystals of ephemeral light, miraculously solidified into a continuum of energy that continues to flow without interruption from a past whose beginning is unknown.

* On sunny days with windWhen the wind blows, this artwork appears in the sky. It shines when the sun comes out and glows when the sun sets.Materials made by humans, such as concrete, have maintained a stable structure on their own like a stone. Vortices on the other hand are created and sustained by the water that continuously flows inwards and outwards, maintaining an ordered structure within that flow. Life similarly maintains order through the continuous inward and outward flow of energy and matter through food.This artwork also has no structure by itself, but rather the structure emerges from the flow; it is soft and flexible like a life form. The flow is what creates order from chaos.
