POST
As part of the Japan MeCA Festival 2024, our projection sculpture Radix was exhibited at the Goethe-Institut Tokyo, offering audiences a chance to experience the work beyond the stage – in an installation setting that emphasized its spatial and sculptural qualities.
Curated within a program focused on experimental media practices from Germany and Japan, the presentation of Radix at the Institut framed our work in dialogue with a diverse field of contemporary media artists. Positioned in the architectural clarity of the exhibition space, the piece took on a new resonance: its organic surface geometry became a canvas for generative light, in constant negotiation with the physical boundaries of the room.
Throughout the festival, Radix invited viewers into a meditative interplay of motion, form, and shadow. Many visitors engaged not just with the projected visuals, but with the object itself — moving around it, interacting with it, and perceiving how light transformed it from different angles. This spatial awareness is central to our interest in augmented stage design and interactive mapping, where audience movement becomes part of the visual system.

The setting at the Goethe-Institut also enabled valuable dialogue with Japanese artists, curators, and researchers working at the intersection of media, architecture, and embodied experience. These conversations affirmed the importance of transdisciplinary exchange in advancing the development of projection mapping as an artistic language.
We are deeply grateful to the Goethe-Institut Tokyo and the MeCA team for creating such a thoughtful and open platform — and for giving Radix a space in which to breathe, evolve, and connect with new audiences.
