Context

“This Game Art piece is as an homage to Noriyuki Haraguchi, a contemporary artist, (1946-2020).”

The piece is between the video and the video game with the theme of an event that move a black iron plate while pushing it to the destination.

The characters in the piece have a program that moves autonomously with random probability. At the same time, this character can also be moved as a game player. An attempt to show an experience that reveals the existence of a border hidden between “video game” and “appreciation” by human recognition.

About this piece

This piece is not a recorded video so that result will depend on the probability. However, operations as a video game are also possible by flicking the screen.

The character moves the black iron plate while pushing it to the destination.

Can the feelings inherent by the experience, whether to control or appreciate the desire to achieve the given video game passing conditions, harmonize and coexist with each other?
