The Interactive Design of THA / Yugo Nakamura（Exhibition）
A single printed image exists as a manifestation of the “fixed / fixity” principle of action; a program that moves on a CPU, meanwhile, constitutes the permanent “liberation” of that image.
If graphic design is “baked fish”, then interactive design is “eating live fish”. We planned our exhibition as a kind of “eating live fish fair”. A bank of monitors served as a pond showing an assortment of action principles vivaciously leaping, while a printouts of a gigantic screen shots were positioned to one side as a kind of “fish print”.
The TDC Grand Prix has brought recognition to our existence as something akin to eccentric purveyors of “edible live fish”, or, if nothing else, poissoniers (fish chefs).
This sense of contiguity gives me enormous pleasure. Thank you very much.
