YOSHIROTTEN and TAKAKAHN feat. Baku Hashimoto — Beyond the Iridium Sea
This is the first audiovisual live performance by graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN. Together with his partner TAKAKAHN from his music project YATT, YOSHIROTTEN will perform a one-day-only experimental dance set. Baku Hashimoto of INS Studio heads the video production. Focusing on "FUTURE NATURE" landscapes visible in a new light as YOSHIROTTEN's theme, the work takes a journey of several dozen minutes into the core of a neo-Earth, connecting to the initial "RGB PUNK" work of impulse in computer graphics, the "WAVE/Atmosphere" digital clouds drawn with an abstract touch, and the latest project, "SUN." The work expresses an encounter with a new light source that manifests after navigating a sea of iron.
