ANIMATION, ART, VIDEO

 

This project played up the impression from a unique spatial condition.
The series of three videos and the virtual installation reflect my experience.

 
 
 

When I entered the racquetball court for the first time, I was strongly attracted to space itself.

It seems;
unrealistic, virtual, futuristic, immaculate, surrealistic, unnatural, speck-less, commissure-less, completed cubic form

For me, a racquetball court space has a unique potential for interaction and is not just a game rule. Playing the game is not enough to describe what I experienced inside there. It feels more like interaction and communication with space than sports. Hitting the ball to the wall/ceiling or from the wall/ceiling was a conversation between me and space.

The ball moved fast; however, the communication between me and the space was definitely calm and clear.

I(speaker-listener)
Space(listener-speaker)
Motion of the Ball(conversation)


Except for space itself and the ball, everything else was unnecessary. For me, the other player's play felt like random surrounding sounds that may affect the conversation because it delivered random energy that could change the ball's movement.

To extract my experience, I eliminated all information in the space, such as players, materials, and lighting, excluding the ball's sound, time, and spatial coordinates.

Although it was a parallelepiped space, the space was unrealistically flawless. Because of that flawless, I recognized the space as an equilateral polyhedron, which is absolutely perfect.

The following three videos and virtual space allows the situation to reveal itself.
