NO-ON

Concept / Algorithm Composition / System Designer no-on.jp/ [Listen to sounds generated by the brain.] Could there be times in which we experience emotions that can’t be expressed with words? For example, the sunset that repeats itself the same way everyday suddenly tugs at your heart. The word “sorrow” alone doesn’t describe the feeling, or more so, no words seem to describe the feeling. In moments like this, what would happen if we were able to release these emotions as music using our brainwaves? What would happen if you obtained a way to express and share your emotions to others? NO-ON is an interactive art piece built to allow us to think about this simple question. [脳が生み出す音を聞く] 言葉で表現しきれない感情にめぐり合うことがないだろうか。 たとえば、いつもと変わらないはずの夕日に突然心奪われ、 哀愁という言葉だけでは感情につり合わず、適切な表現が見当たらない。 そんな時、脳波をつかって内発的に音楽を生み出せたらどうなるか。 自身の感情と向き合い、他人とも共有できる表現が手に入ると何が起こるのか。 NO-ONは、このシンプルな問いを考えるためのインタラクティブアートです。
