From another station the images of the “moon” or “sight” of the
station are sent to moon viewing box. Those images of the moon are
projected on the screen inside moon viewing box. The mutually feed
back each other to produce a night sky in a three dimensional
perspective. Sights in which this moon viewing box is located box in a
back garden which we worked in over a long period of time. The
surrounding sights are also taken in and compounded. In short it is an
expression by fusion of real space and virtual space. We chose a
desired scene around moon viewing box and direct a spotlight on to it
in close-up. For example by compounding cluster amaryllis in full
bloom and the harvest moon we created an illusory network moon viewing
box. A performer is also able to play moon viewing box by touching it.
The strength pause and breath of the touch is transformed to sounds.
