ANY WHERE ANY TIME
(2020)
I designed a movable house based on the concept that people don't have to stay in one place as long as there is an internet connection because the way we live at home has changed drastically since we no longer have to go directly to school or work and spend more time at home due to COVID. Another reason why I designed this house is because about 10 years ago, Japan was hit by a major earthquake of magnitude 9, and a huge tsunami destroyed most of the coastal towns. When a tsunami destroys houses and buildings without leaving any trace, it means that all memories of the past are lost. When I was 10 years old at the time, I thought to myself, "If there were movable houses, how many people would not be sad? This house would not only make people's lives more enjoyable, but also protect them from natural disasters.
PUBLIC SUPERCOMPUTER
(2020)
While the personal computers that many people use today are very convenient, the artificial interaction on personal computers creates many difficult pitfalls, such as social interaction, addiction, and poor mental health. The environmental impact of electronic materials in personal computers is also significant, accounting for about 70% of the world's hazardous waste. As a solution to these problems, we came up with the idea of a public supercomputer. This supercomputer will be accessible to a larger number of users/individuals and will be a source of social interaction and bonding in an organic context, encouraging the formation of communities.
In the center of our supercomputer park, there will be a giant tree. This tree represents nature, interconnectivity and the pillar of life. It serves as a reminder for our society the cost of technology and encourages us to find more sustainable methods of living. By incorporating a natural element to our design, we hope to remind people of how humans came to be and to remember to be thankful and kind to the earth.
This is the control center of our supercomputer. A user sits in the middle of the room and controls their surroundings with a personal processor. This user could be anyone. They are not limited by how much money they have, where they’re from, or any part of their background or identity. We have designed the supercomputer to be controlled by a personal processor so users can each have a unique experience while sharing the public supercomputer itself.
I have designed our supercomputer to be powered by mushrooms that make electricity from our collective garbage. In nature, mushrooms and other fungi live by breaking down organic matter into inorganic matter. In developed countries, the amount of garbage increases at a high rate. By using the power of mushrooms to feed off this waste and use it to produce electricity instead, we are powering our supercomputer park while safeguarding the sustainable future of technology.
I have incorporated robotic birds and wildlife that serve as secondary projectors for holograms. They contain a built-in camera and are controlled by artificial intelligence. These birds serve two purposes, the first purpose is to create an accessible digital experience for everyone. Through projections, everyone within the space is able to see, hear, and experience the benefits of this supercomputer technology. The second purpose is to simulate a natural environment with the giant tree in order to remind us of how far humans have advanced and the cost that it has had on our environment.
The operation of these individual processors is seamless with the human body. Through contact lenses, people can see the hologram as part of their own unique experience.
