why:
To experience a world without borders.
In 2014, tension began to run through Japan, China, South Korea, and North Korea, which continues to this day in 2019. Yokohama was selected as an East Asian Cultural City back in 2014, where a special exhibition "FindAsia" was a part of the Yokohama Triennale. We were selected as an invited artist for this exhibition to show how we can experience a world without borders.
2014年、日中韓そして北朝鮮間では、緊張関係が高まり始めていました。そして2019年の今もそれは続いています。2014年に東アジア文化都市に選出されていた横浜では、横浜トリエンナーレの一環として「FindAsia」という特別展が行われ、その展示の招待作家としてNOSIGNERも選ばれました。私達は、どのように国境のない世界を体験することができるのかを考えることにしました。
how:
A night view of the Earth, 3000km from outer space.
"I could not see the borderline from outer space."
Mamoru Mouri / astronaut
「宇宙からは国境線は見えなかった。」
毛利衛 / 宇宙飛行士
Many astronauts around the world have testified that their perception changed after seeing the Earth from outer space, feeling released from fixed ideas they previously had. For example, Japanese astronaut Mamoru Mouri famously said, "From the universe, I could not see the borderline from outer space." Although it may not be easy to go to space, it may be possible to reproduce such experiences. Therefore, we decided to precisely reproduce the night view of the Earth from 3000km above the sky, using tens of thousands of LED lights.
now:
We revealed a view from space without borders.
