Participated as a collaborating artist in the “LEXUS DESIGN EVENT 2019 – LEADING WITH LIGHT” at the Milan Design Week, the world’s largest design event, held in Milan, Italy. The exhibition took place at Superstudio Più Art Point, located in the heart of Tortona, a district where creations from around the world gather.
“LEADING WITH LIGHT” is an installation created with robots that move freely in response to human movement in a space surrounded by countless dynamic and exquisite rays of light generated by the latest technology. At the main venue, a graceful and delicate performance unfolds with a robot programmed with the movements of a human dancer using motion capture technology, countless lights, and a single dancer.
This installation resonates with LEXUS’s “Human-Centered” philosophy, asserting that technology gains value when it is designed for people. It expresses the infinite possibilities of light as technology, as well as the relationship between technology and humans.
