2020: A RESTROOM CULTURALITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A restroom for visitors to reflect upon a cultural boundlessness, or culturality, of restrooms in the past, present and future, which comprises Gestural Rhythm of Dot recording a time dimension of a process of movements in painting, and a musical sound of circulator that may reflect the sound of present culturality in a place of installment. Material: toilet paper, painting or drawing materials (water color), environmental sound, real-time computer processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When technological impact on society takes its role, might be a time for artists to play their role. Art, to us, does not seem to be something that only tolerates a specific \u2018beauty.\u2019 Things that are \u2018ugly\u2019 might be actually where humanity is. To be specific, restrooms such as Japanese one\u2014whoa, it\u2019s a space of traditional hospitality, having within touch sensors for flash, toilet seat heats, incredible softness of toilet paper, even a sound of nature\u2014are considered here to be a site for carrying out another artistic investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concept of the artwork generally relates to an idea of presenting a design of restroom as a demonstration of restroom culturality. Based on said concept, the artwork comprises: 1) \u2018Gestural Rhythm of Dot\u2019 recording a time dimension of a process of movements in painting, of yellow color symbolizing suns\u2019 movement and of blue color rivers\u2019; and 2) a musical sound of circulator that is synthesized with environmental sound reflecting the sound of present culturality in the place of installation. As a result, the artwork presents another view on restroom design, and also we hope it gives us a chance to reflect upon or test the notion, movement and music concerning restroom in the past, present and future, a moment of relief contemplating the boundlessness of the resting place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
