Artist Statement:

Until now, attempts to realize the concave-convex movements of liv­ing things in three-dimensional CG images have not been success­ful. In this work, a 3D image is interlocked with actual depth in the real world instead of only in the virtual world. It becomes the world of complex sensations where cyberspace and real space are mixed.

Technical Information:

A flexible screen that can reproduce three-dimensional forms at high speed is required for realization of this 3D experience. In Gemotional Bumpy Screen, high-definition video with 3D information is displayed on the screen, the image and the screen synchronize and react, and the operation is realized in real time.
