The famous musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and the artist Shiro Takatani are currently presenting the installation "LIFE - fluid, invisible, inaudible ..." at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media.
The piece is set in a dark room, with 9 screens hanging form the ceiling. The screens are huge acrylic tanks (1.2m) with several centimeters of water covered with mist.
To enjoy the show, you lie down under one of the screens (cushions are provided). Above each screen is a projector, and you are treated to a show of images, movies and messages with sound.
The music goes from minimalist to piano and orchestra, in various styles somewhere from Sakamoto's own soundtrack to Love Is The Devil to his opera LIFE (see the connection?).
Infra-red sensors detect the presence of visitors so that several laptop computers can start or stop sound and images. The result is that, although all the projectors play the same piece, the screens are not on at the same time or do not show exactly the same image.
