"Re-solarization" Performance ailent green/transmediale/EMAP 01 09 2025 Exhibition UnNatural Encounters
Performance 'Re-solarization' by Tatsuru Arai
The Earth's ecosystem has preserved most of its matter while resisting entropy through self-organization, requiring immense energy. Today, as we face an energy crisis amid rapid technological advances like AI, innovations like nuclear fusion are crucial to sustain ecosystems. Balancing nature's energy with scientific progress is essential. In "Hyper Serial Music (the most complex music in history) and "Trans Ages Music" (1 to 100% density music), the flowers repeatedly diffuse and self-organize with an included AI system, reflecting this dynamic balance.
The performance creates a sensory experience in which sound, light, and visual projections are precisely synchronized to generate a futuristic, meditative atmosphere.

Exhibition "Face Of the Universe" at RIXC /National Library of Latvia in Riga Latvia/ CIKE EMAP
19 Oct-10 Dec 2024 at National Library of Latvia in Riga Latvia “Face of Universe” is a large-scale projection that shows images of plants, textures, and numbers in fluid transitions. The artist has researched plants in urban and rural areas, incorporating aspects of geopolitics, topography, and ecosystem analysis. With the support of AI-based systems, Arai developed his performative compositions, which can be understood as mapping of ecosystems.
The work focuses on plants as CO2-processing organisms, highlighting their crucial role in climate change and the global carbon cycle. The artist combines ecological themes with geopolitical and social contexts by referring to current global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality. The work aims to raise awareness of the complexity and interconnectedness of global ecosystems.
“Face of Universe” is an attempt to use the means of art to convey complex global relationships through the synthesis of nature and technology. The work challenges us to consider the connections between microcosms and macrocosms — in the spirit of Alexander von Humboldt’s “Everything is connected to everything”.
*Developed during European Media Art Platform residency in Košice, produced by Creative Industries Kosice, funded by Slovak Arts Council and Creative Europe, in collaboration with Boris Vaitovič.

Exhibition "Face Of the Universe" at Kunsthalle in Kosice Slovakia/ CIKE EMAP residency
Oct -Dec 2023 at Kunsthalle in Kosice Slovakia EMAP artist Tatsuru Arai presents his current project Face of the Universe at Art & Tech Days Kosice in the framework of his residency at CIKE.
Together with his collaborating artist Boris Vaitovič, he will document the digital shapes of flowers in Kosice and use artificial intelligence to recreate them. Creating a way to experience part of the essence of the universe through images and sound, is the collaborative artistic duo’s vision of an artwork that allows for a better understanding of human perception and cognition. This work will therefore also mediate communication between human and artificial intelligence.
