On the front of a model train running around a darkened room is a small,
lit-up LED light. As the train moves slowly along its route, small and
large objects are projected onto the walls and ceiling. Due to the
movement of the light source, the shadows of the stationary objects
appear to move, leaving viewers with the impression that they are
passengers riding on the train (watch video, below).
The Tenth Sentiment is the creation of Japanese artist Ryota
Kuwakubo. The installation was exhibited at the NTT InterCommunication
Center, an innovative cultural facility in Tokyo.
For over two decades, Kuwakubo has been creating works using mainly
electronics based on a theme of relationships formed across various
boundaries, such as "analog and digital, humans and machines, and
information transmitters and receivers." He creates devices that are
designed not only for providing experiences, but also as tools for
establishing communications between the people who experience them.
