Jeff & Mods, Sarah Chang is a most noted violinist, as you know, and you may consider it poor taste to post J.S. Bach’s piece, considering the title we’ve come to associate with the composition since late 19th century. The mood of the piece, however, resounds an empathy with a comment and another’s response. I have been deeply moved by both.

Many Steps | Takayuki Akachi

VIMEO NOTES. I traveled around the world to create the film which concept is "collecting the steps from all over the world and playing a music with the steps". All of us breathe in the same air and step on the same ground.

Now, I'm in Tokyo [perhaps, two months ago]. I was struck by strong earthquake when I was preparing for the final check. Many friends around the world worried about my safety. I was so touched. My family, me and Tokyo are OK. But the people of disaster area are in deep sorrow still now. Not only that, they spend their days worrying about aftershocks, tsunami and nuclear reactor problem. I want to support the people through every means I can. And, I hope that they resume peaceful everyday life as soon as possible.

We have received warm support from all over the world. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. [See Onitsuka Tiger.]

Are We Ourselves? |

Lost feelings return
So now maybe I can learn
To stop the world of a lie
This time around

Are we, are we, are we ourselves
Are we, are we, are we ourselves

Because seen through these eyes
We lead a double life
No one would know
So check it out
Stepping out
Here I go

Are we, are we, are we ourselves
Are we ourselves
And do we really know

Most spirit returns
Now maybe we learned
To stop this whirl of a lie
To this earth we are bound I ask you

Are we, are we, are we ourselves
Are we ourselves
And do we really know
Ooh do we know
Are we ourselves

Immersive Cocoon | “2011”
— a concept film; credits at the end

IMMERSIVE COCOON CONCEPT. Imagine a digital experience that is intuitive and holistic, where your interface is not reduced to a mouse click and two dimensional analog of a writing desk. A surround display dome complemented by the sophisticated motion-sensing software that inspired the technology depicted in the film Minority Report. With natural, intuitive movements, your entire body becomes the interface.

Imagine instead of a screen, a visual-audio environment that envelops you, recreating the three-dimensional space we perceive in our everyday lives. Where work and play become more concentrated and enjoyable and allow one to depart on journeys you never thought possible. This is the premise of the Immersive Cocoon, a concept study for an advancd digital environment. SYNOPSIS.
