And the footage, edited at approx 200 times speed to synchronize dynamically with the sound of mankind's heartbeats (also along with drone rumbling inside the body of which muscle moves, fluid flows, and etc.), was reproduced by [3D Phantom®*](#Further-reading), as it is called POV: Persistent of Vision that can imitate a hologram by numerous mini LEDs lined on rotor blades. It emerged within the window. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/c7R2l0d.jpg" width="50%" height="auto" style="float:right;margin-left:16px;margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:8px"> Well, to shift our gaze to the ambient surroounding, there were near and distant views; the near was the sensible access aisle centering to the world of our artwork, that I ordered also [Hiroka Saga](https://www.hyperelax.com/about-1/) who's been working on "[Land Restoration*](#Further-reading)" to take the form of deeply forested path among Tatami mats, and the distant was traditional temple ambience in the honored reception hall where spectators could walk around, that could be seen even through the marginal phantom frame. Furthermore, stepping out, we still heard human beats in back and there in front was a [dry landscape garden*](#Further-reading) where Japanese cherry blossoms bloomed and bush warblers sung. Tuning thythm and perspective brought us mindful play and enjoy all in all, and that means "resonance". Installed as art elements, coming about resonance, it aimed to superimpose the human world and nature and present a polyrhythmic world on the whole. If such resonance bring amplification… the one is the concept appeared in the exhibition title, another is the effect we expected, and their interaction could access the secret of buddhist concept known as “[The window of Enlightment*](#Further-reading)” for example, I wish. In parallel, in this world where the "COVID-19" virus is prevalent all over the world and the world is in utter confusion, these minute organisms, which are ubiquitous in one corner of the world, live at a different pace and with an unimaginably dynamic rhythm than we do, and coexist as a balancer of diverse ecosystems without human visibility. <br> --- #### Caption & Notes <iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fy91DWN7snHD8V5kqrK-4cfNghMcxi9H/preview" width="100%" height="500"></iframe> <br> <br> --- #### Further reading - 〇窓借景㊀ “RESONANCE” 👉 Facebook http://j.mp/ENSO-BorrowedScenery-1 - たぐい vol.4（亜紀書房）👉 Amazon https://amzn.to/3Hp7LID 唐澤太輔「粘菌哲学序説ー十玄縁起を援用しながらー」 see also the previous project 👉 [〇窓 / ENSO Project](/mjK7_C5DTj-NhlgRTwxm8g) (2016) #### Links ordered in the text - [京都 日蓮宗 大本山 妙顯寺 (Myoken-ji Temple, Kyoto)](https://shikaishodo-myokenji.org) - [Slime Mold - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_mold?wprov=sfti1) - [Minakata Kumagusu - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minakata_Kumagusu) - [Le blob | Parc Zoologique de Paris](https://www.parczoologiquedeparis.fr/fr/les-animaux/le-blob-3035) - [Japanese Dry Garden - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_dry_garden?wprov=sfti1) - [秋田公立美術大学 (Akita University of Art)](https://www.akibi.ac.jp/en) - [大地の再生 (Land Restration)](https://daichisaisei.net) - [悟りの窓・迷いの窓｜京都 源光庵 (The window of Enlightment / Ambivalence)](https://genkouan.or.jp/mado/)
