This collaborative project takes as its starting
point Miyajima's artwork Deathclock. Using RFID tags designed by
Hajime Tachibana, and clothing by Kiyonaga of the fashion brand
SOPH., the first edition SOPH. Version is a unique interpretation
/ manipulation of Miyajima's original idea.
In SOPH. Version users can experience
what the artists have called a "happening art," the result of
a miniature local network that links
the user's registered RFID tag to the tag reader and the 'Deathclock'
software loaded on their PC.
SOPH. Version is and experimental artwork
that deconstructs the existing framework of contemporary art, fashion,
design, and technology. |
