Uncertainty School Seminar 2

Soichiro Mihara

Residing in Kyoto, Japan, the artist is working on the Blank Project to explore beyond the boundaries of modern social system in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Mihara is collaborating with musicians, artists, electronic instrument engineers, and tactile sense researchers.?

Soichiro Mihara has constantly posed questions on “here and now” through production of art works using sound, bubble, radiation, rainbow, moss, micro-organism, etc. At this seminar, the artist will discuss the evolution into a new work area that connects life and energy, with moss being the main material, on the extension of the previous Blank Project focused on the use of computer programs and sound.

Natural disasters reveal the fragility of infrastructures in contemporary reality. The unfortunate events, such as the earthquakes and nuclear disasters in Japan, materialize the contingencies that the public are only vaguely aware of. In this seminar, participants are invited to immerse in Mihara’s imagination of Post-Anthropocene perspective and investigate nature as the probe for others and universe
