Concept by Tetsuya Goto:
When we first visit a city, we read a map. We see a city from a panoramic or God view. We compass a city from its wholeness. However, a city from our point of view is, so to speak, a point landscape. I would say a city for a person is an accumulation of point landscapes in 360 degrees. “ASIA CITY TEXT/URE” is a series of articles in “Typojanchi Newsletter” project. The word texture includes “text;” both have come from the same Latin root word textus, meaning, “weave.” Characters are woven into text, the feel of which becomes texture. A word “Asia” originally indicates the eastern area beyond Europe. It is a rough word, however, this exhibition responds to its rough-ness. We try to remove the framework of countries, and average Asia. It exhibits point landscape of graphic designers and typographers in cities of Asia. When the points are connected, the lines will be interwoven. And, it will become a TEXT/URE. What does ASIA CITY TEXT/URE feel like?

後藤哲也さんとの共作で、4K ディスプレイを 7 台つかった大きなインスタレーション ASIA CITY TEXT/URE という作品を発表しました。わたしは全体のデザインと画像をシンクロナイズさせるためのプログラムを担当しています。
ディスプレイにはアジアを中心に各都市から集まった7名のデザイナーに撮影してもらった「街の中のタイポグラフィー」の写真が表示されてます。
