hi my name is Noriko Taniguchi from Tim
Roth Tim Roth is an art collective based
in Tokyo Japan
Tim Rob has about 400 people but I think
at this stage is a bit small for 400
people so I came here to represent them
Tim Roth is made up of many different
people each with a different role we
have programmers CG animators
mathematicians painters architects and
others but we create art together today
I am going to talk about the possibility
of the digital art and how it can
connect people to one another improving
this is the one of our art work named
flowers and people cannot be controlled
but live together in this installation a
room is filled with colorful digital
flowers and the flowers continually grow
and blossom and the installation is
continually evolving and changing in
response to the audience if the audience
touches the flower and walking along the
loom the flowers began to die and wither
away if the audience stays too in the
space the flowers will spring up along
with them the artwork is never the same
it is constantly changing according to
the presence of people and their
movement to all saloon
the debut of this artwork was in New
York 2014 when we exhibited this artwork
in New York the lessons was overwhelming
and the venue was completely full and as
but interestingly after that audiences
began to talk to each other and think
about how their presence in the space
affected to the artwork I think usually
audience never talked to each other
inside of the exhibition but it was
happened in our exhibition and they
discuss it whether or not it was because
there were too many of them in the space
and some people decided to leave the
Loom to make a space for flowers to
groom and the flowers to begin to scream
again and the Loom was alive once more
it was a very exciting moment everyone
inside of the exhibition and for us this
it’s one of the most famous painting in
the world Mona Lisa at Louvre in Paris
so you may have been to see it so you
might have been bro elated by its
perfection beauty and the huge crowd in
front of the picture so when people talk
about the Mona Lisa they tend to talk
about her beauty or her mysterious
expression but no one really talked
about the impact of the crowd as they do
with our artwork why do people ignore
each other when they standing in front
of the Mona Lisa
it is because the Mona Lisa would never
change regardless of the presence of you
or as a beaut and the audiences are not
considered to be part of the artwork
this is typical in the Western tradition
where the object of art and viewers are
considered to be completely separate
things so people do not single think
about other audience member as part of
the picture and actually they may be
trying to ignore others to enjoy the
Mona Lisa what is the importance here is
how each video is each individual
audience member thinks on the field by
seeing Mona Lisa and the body press on
the relationship in between the artwork
itself and individual but our art is do
something different
unlike the Mona Lisa there is no single
way to look at tim lobster art instead
you are in it as part of the artwork and
you become connected to others who are
also experiencing the work this is the
one of the our latest art work we
exhibited pace Galilee London
unfortunately it’s just finished
yesterday but thank you if anyone here
went to see the show your participation
is an essential aspect of Tim Roth
digital art and our earth encourages
people to interact with it when people
use the time interactive to describe
technology it usually refers to one
person the duration
with the World Series a videogame
but our art is a little bit different so
Tim Rob focuses much more on linking the
time interactive with art and
achievements regardless people purposely
want to intervene or execute an action
as with a videogame our art is changed
simply by the mere presence of living
things as you can see in this image
water flows along the people just
standing in the loop in an ordinary
exhibition other people’s presence is
detract from the experience of the work
we love visiting exhibitions where
museum are empty how amazing would it be
to see the Mona Lisa with no one else
but in our exhibition other audiences
presence is our grateful so although
people can expense our artwork on their
own but they can also appreciate how the
earth interact with other people when
they stand back and watch others
experiencing it so we think digital art
can make other people’s presence more
positive even if you don’t know them do
you not understand them cannot control
them so now let’s have a look more
example this picture tucked in the
flowers and the pupils installation did
so children will be scolded when they
learning along the exhibition space but
our earth can become more beautiful when
kids start running around so when kids
running along the space flowers will
yet they still continue to create a
beautiful moving scene our art can
become more beautiful with the presence
of an exhausted man me as you can see so
there is a body underneath of the flower
so this is one of our cue member who
hadn’t slept for two days and fell
asleep right on the floor
after watching so she was sleeping like
a log on the floor but then after that
the bunch of flowers bloomed along him
then actually he was coupled buys a lot
to buy a lot of flowers so it will be
surprisingly even 39 year old become
beautiful thanks to the artwork so we
believe the digital art can improve the
relationship among the people and it
will be a new concept that no one really
have challenged it before with earth
this idea digital art can improve the
relationship between people and connect
people to one another
with this concept we are working on a
project called digitizer city this is a
world heritage site in total the
Shimogamo shrine we exhibited resonating
tree in their last summer as part of the
digital city project so when people pass
close to the tree tree changes colors
and makes a sound corresponding to that
color
and the light and sound expanded from
the tree that crossed to the person to
both side and opposite law and it
spreads to all the trees like a ripple
effect and all the trees come to visit
with each other so when a light and
sound resonate from the deep in the
forest its signify the presence of other
person maybe an animal or maybe the
court of shrine through using a light
and sound we help audiences and
witnesses become more aware of other
using light and sound we transform city
and nature into the dester art while
keeping them as a earth because for us
light is our paint the whole world is
our canvas and art is not only exhibited
inside of the nature or the city but
lhasa nature and the city itself can
become art and the city is a huge
artistic space without disrupting its
normal functions the modern society and
city has become incredibly complicated
and the fabric or appearance of the city
often does not really change by the
presence of myself or anyone else and
just like in front of the Mona Lisa it’s
all too easy for us to ignore others in
our cities to cope it with everyday life
people become an annoyance
we ignore each other we don’t get to
know each other because there is a
little opportunity to do so or because
we choose not to however if we can turn
the city into living digital art and get
people to think about other people’s
presence in new ways it may just be
possible to stimulate possible
relationship among people and that will
resonate across the city and throughout
the world we at Timnath want to connect
people to one another without any
boundaries and make this world brighter
and happier place thank you so much [Applause]
