Metaract

Metaract

Unclassified 18+

The artist’s quest for meaning is revealed through the use of natural environments, which are recontextualised and juxtaposed with digital elements as textures, colours and sounds.

Exploring the duality between analog and digital, Metaract features superimpositions of artificial sounds and fragments created using 3DCG (three-dimensional imaging) technology, intensifying the narrative composition. This artistic elaboration could not be achieved using machines alone; rather, it requires the combination of real- and virtual-world phenomena. With this groundbreaking work, Manami Sakamoto and Yuri Urano hope to stimulate the public’s imagination and raise awareness about the joys of living in this ‘coexisting world’.
