Tokyo, September 12 , 2023 -- Mori Building Co., Ltd. will host an event marking the opening of the project "Syn: Unfolded Horizons of Bodily Senses" by Rhizomatiks, a creative collective that creates large scale commercial and artistic projects, and the dance company ELEVENPLAY, at TOKYO NODE from October 6 to November 12, 2023. Tickets for this opening project will be available online from 11 a.m. Japan time on September 12.
On Friday October 6 this year, TOKYO NODE, a new interactive communication facility, will open at the top of Toranomon Hills Station Tower (45th to 49th floors, with some displays on the 8th floor). It will serve as a node, or connection point, for the dissemination of new experiences, values, content and information through creative collaboration from Tokyo to the world.
To mark the opening of TOKYO NODE, a new immersive performance "Syn: Unfolded Horizons of Bodily Senses" will be staged by Rhizomatiks & ELEVENPLAY, during which visitors will themselves step onto an elaborate stage created in a total exhibition space of approximately 1,500m². This performance will be a completely new work by Rhizomatiks organized by Daito Manabe and Motoi Ishibashi, the co-directors of their research and development division, and the dance company ELEVENPLAY, led by stage director and choreographer MIKIKO. It will be an immersive performance taking place over just 38 days that will reexamine the changing "human senses" in the age of AI through a space that transforms as the audience enters the stage and through the performance of the 24 dancers appearing in front of them.
The logo for this performance has been created by up-and-coming graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN and the visual design has been created by YAR. The letters "s," "y" and "n" are inspired by the binary symbols used in computer programming and control. The logo is combined with visual images created by Rhizomatiks using computer graphics of the dancers of ELEVENPLAY to create key visuals designed to expand visitors' imagination during the performance. Furthermore, we are excited to offer exclusive merchandise featuring the iconic "Syn" logo, including T-shirts, tote bags and stickers, as part of our celebration of the release of this performance. Don't miss the opportunity to make these special items yours!
TOKYO NODE will continue to create new projects encompassing the areas of business, art, technology, and entertainment, and will continue to deliver new experiences, values and content from the Toranomon Hills area to the world.
