You cannot see the wind.
You can feel its breath on your skin,but you cannot see it.
It is only the swaying of the trees that betrays it presence.
Tree branches are a device for visualizing the wind.
"FIBER WAVE" is an artificial branch.

Trees are supple and pliant.
They yield softly, letting the wind pass through.They do not fight the wind.
They do not fight,but are never defeated.When the wind dies down they regain their
original shape.
This is not so with things people make.They are always fighting.
Buildings bridges and towers.
They stand up against the wind,hard,strong,and manly.
And sometimes they collapse.
"FIBER WAVE" is different. It does not fight.It is much like the trees.
It is an artificial plant that changes its shape to relate to the wind.
The wind determines its shape. It is a designless design.

And "FIBER WAVE II" is like light as well.
A trembling, rustling light.

It is not the wind of this place that causes the light to tremble.
It is a wind that can only be blowing in another world.
Across the ocean, in a far desert, or a sweltering city.
On green planets, red stars, frozen methane seas.
Somewhere on the Net.
That wind is visible. Right now, right here.

Technology, living things, the Net.




All fusing together.                        

The touch of liquids melting the city.   

"FIBER WAVE"rustles with the wind and glows with the energy of the sun.
It is environmental art which needs no energy. It is in operation in Gifu, at Tokyo Waterfront
Sub Center, and in Chicago.
"FIBER WAVE II"is the indoor developmental version.
Through the Net it responds to the wind of a virtual world. Conversions of date, wind,
and matter, from digital to analog and back.
It's program continues to evolve during the course of the exhibition.
In addition, it is in sympathy with the multimedia book, RYUTAI TOSHI
(Liquid Cities/Jitsugyo no Nihonsya).
