DIGITAL PICTURE SCROLL
2011年01月04日
Well, I guess this was one way to spend Christmas Eve … cold, but full of color with the digital artist, Akira Hasegawa’s D-K Live show and what a mental and aesthetic buzz it was.http://www.pref.kagawa.jp/ritsurin/index_e.html
Ritsurin Garden is a visual treat at anytime and its design is such that the ‘aspect’ is meant to change every few 20 meters or so. And so it does. This time even more so as Hasegawa’s light machines flashed digital images over trees, buildings, people, the hills, everything was awash in slow, ever changing colors.
Now the architecture had another dimension, kaleidoscopic, or so it seemed. The impact was subtle at first and slowly became more intense as the sky darkened.
Hasegawa is an internationally known Japanese digital media artist and has performed his light works at a wide variety on international locations including UNESCO World Heritage Sites with ephemeral, at times transformative and changing images.
He’s termed these images as a link between technology, the spirit, science and art. I believe him.
Akira Hasegawa will help Salzburg up coming Festival audiences see and “hear” D-K Live’s “Silent Music – A Symphony Vision” from the heart and mind.

Look away for a minute than again at the image and everything is totally transformed. What a great way to think about Christmas actually …
Keep all those cards ‘n letters coming in and have a wonderful New Year. I’ll be back with another article for January on some recent developments with Takamatsu’s changing shopping arcades for you. Keep warm and safe.

Pat has far too many hobbies which include tennis, playing jazz flutes and saxes, riding bicycles with the Takamatsu Cycling Club all of which his long-suffering family tolerate.
