Gravity and Resistence

The key concept of "gravicells" Gravity and resistance:
The spatial expression of "gravicell- gravity and resistance" is rendered consistently by the real time calculation of the dynamics. The on-going dynamic movements are composed of the counter powers around gravity. Gravity is not materialized without the reaction force.

Our sense of direction in a space, up and down or right and left, indicates the fact that we have physical functions in the gravity-based environment, and without it, our concept of space would not be formed. Thus we live in the world where gravity is inevitable, and everything that exists on the earth represents a form controlled by the dynamics of gravity, not to mention a space, language, physique, shape of stomach or architecture.

In this artwork, it is possible for us to develop a new human sense through feeling gravity differently than usual and having new perception of body. The work provides a space with hypothetical dynamics having the opposing forces of gravity and resistance, through special devices and sensors. Walking freely in the site, visitors are able to feel gravity that they are seldom aware of, resistance to it, and the effects caused by other participants. All movements and changes made by participating visitors are transformed into the movements of sound, light (LED) and geometrical images through the sensors, so that the whole space develops or changes in this interactive installation. Additionally, the position of the exhibition space is simultaneously measured by GPS, and with plural linked GPS satellites as part of the work, it involves some observation points outside the earth. It means that the area of our perception has expanded, and presents a fact that this installation site is moving relative to gravity as well. This artwork provides people with an opportunity to feel the possibility of dissolution of gravity, which suggests multiple meanings.
