Tetsuya Komuro × Rintaro Fushi, "Solaris Tokyo: Tetsuya Komuro as a Living Archive" STATEMENT

This performance is a visual epic where Tetsuya Komuro 's music and Rintaro Fuse's visuals intersect. Komuro, who has updated romance, urban, and linguistic sensibilities through cutting-edge technology from each era, is regarded as a "living archive," and AI-generated live-action footage is overwritten to reflect post-climate change Tokyo. Amid tropical nights, heavy rain, thick fog, and warm seas, the sounds of the 1990s are recreated as a different future. The visuals reflecting memories like the sea in the sci-fi film and novel "Solaris," combined with the "fluctuations" that arise between machines and humans, connect the music to a new "now."
