Summer Tones

The exhibition "COLOR-HUNTING" is held at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT in Tokyo. We can experience various things about COLOR. Titled "Summer Tones," the work is most impressive for me. Wind bells with indigo dyed strips play good sounds and swing in the air. So to speak, I can hear the color, I can see the sound. Color of strips changes from indigo to white by gradation. "Tone" is translated as "音色" into Japanese: "音" means sound; "色" means color. So, we can experience sound and color by several tones. That is the theme of this work "Summer Tones," I think.

Movie uploaded on Vine. Listen to wind bells sound and see swinging strips.

Pictures show the color gradient of "Summer Tones."
