The aim of this project is to install his digitally augmented artwork DANDELION in multiple locations around the world to create a network of interactive installations that connects people’s prayers for world peace. さまざまな街から発せられる「Breath(吐息)」が、平和を願う「bless(祈り)」の種となって世界中で花を咲かせる。世界中に「DANDELION」が増え、より多くの人が関わることで、リアル／ヴァーチャル、オンライン／オフラインがシンクロし、人々の想いが繋がるネットワークそのものが大きなアートとして成長し続けます。 This way, Dandelion can be accessed by anyone from anywhere in the world. People’s prayers for peace will connect both physically through the installations, as well as virtually on the online platform. As more installations are set up around the world and more people participate, their many prayers will connect within this large and ever-expanding artwork. Real locations and the virtual world synchronize, as the network itself, which connects the many prayers, becomes the artwork. バーチャルとリアル、テクノロジーとアナログといった、さまざまな境界を結ぶ体験を生み出してきた私たちが今こそ世界に届けたいのは、あらゆるバリアを超えて人々の想いを繋ぐこのアート作品です。 花は言葉を必要とせず、物事を分け隔てることもしません。種子を飛ばし、たどり着いた先でまた花を咲かせます。そんな風に、アートを通して人々の祈りを繋げ、世界中に花を咲かせることができればと願っています。 In past years, we have created works that integrate virtual and real, digital and analog; what we wish to offer the world today is an artwork that transcends barriers to unite people’s hearts. Flowers need no words. They are completely impartial. Their seeds fly to new places and bloom there. Through this art, we hope to spread this spirit, to plant flowers of peace throughout the world. ・作品名：『DANDELION PROJECT』（ダンデライオン プロジェクト） ・アーティスト名：村松亮太郎 / NAKED（英語表記：Ryotaro Muramatsu / NAKED） ・発表時期：2020年11月初旬〜2021年2月末 ・『DANDELION』設置箇所： シンガポール（Singapore）：ガーデンズ・バイ・ザ・ベイ（Gardens by the Bay） 日本：MIYASHTA PARK/渋谷区立宮下公園／東京タワー／メッツァ(ムーミンバレーパーク・メッツァビレッジ) ※本作品は、COVID-19対策として、今回の一連の展示に関しては、実際に吹くという行為を用いずに、オブジェに近付きインタラクティブに反応する体験設計を導入することになります。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ・Project Name：DANDELION PROJECT ・Artist：Ryotaro Muramatsu / NAKED ・Launching Date：First series of installations launching in early November, 2020 ・Planned Locations：Shibuya Station area, Tokyo / Moomin Valley Park, Saitama, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, and other locations to be announced *In accordance with protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19, this particular series of installations will replace the “blowing” element with remotely activated interactive displays. https://breathbless.com ＜ABOUT RYOTARO MURAMATSU / NAKED＞ Since founding the creative company NAKED, INC. in 1997, the Tokyo based artist has led projects in various fields such as film, television, music videos, advertisements, and spatial presentation.
