Visual Echo :

Visual Echo is a project that constructs the digital-vision and the sound in the space. In Ve_bar, it is not based on a specific concept like the theme and the story,etc. Each source is a work of the participation artist who has a peculiar motive and the approval technique.
Visual Echo constructs the digital-vision, the photograph, and the sound in the space as a Accumulation of fragment. The person in charge of integrated construction is Tetsuya Machida. The copyright of each works doesn't belong to the Machida individual.
The main construction staff is Hisashi Ikeda, and Genta Maruyama. They are the staff from beginning of VE development.

BAR:

VE_Bar is constructed imaging the drinking bar. To prohibit driving while intoxicated, it severely checks it though alcohol can be actually drunk at VE_bar.
The loop system (installation during normal circumstances) and the event system (installation at week end) are done based on the schedule. In the loop system, the participation artists work becomes shape involved to the system. In the event system, it becomes individual artist's solo project, and the space is transformed.

water desk - loop contents + web live contents + sensor interacton :

The program that selects the image and the sound at random loops.
Conversion of the image is decided at random.
The sensor recognizes the spectator. In a word, the image and the sound are transformed by the spectator's movement.
The possibility of adding the insertion program of the fragment text of "Story" recollected from the connection of the image is planned.
