Our exhibit details

■ SCRAPTURE (SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT) / NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Co., Ltd.
This product was created as a practical and sustainable message art piece that brings interiors waste, which is usually not visible, closer to people and appeals to emotions and memories. Unlike the traditional scrap-and-build approach to message delivery, this piece will be upcycled as new interiors materials for the next generation and circulated as a medium to expand the circle of co-creation. The piece will be displays in traveling locations such as offices, international conferences, and art events, with the aim of inspiring many people to think about a better future. It has received numerous awards, including the Sky Design Awards 2023 Gold Award (Multimedia & Visual Included Exhibition category) and the 57th Japan Sign concept design Award Gold Award and Tezuka Yui Award.

■noon／Material Record
noon.00 is a speaker made from recycled acrylic partitions that were installed in large quantities by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group. The acrylic, which was scheduled for disposal, was crushed into cullets and then heat-pressed to create an appearance with milky white particles of light. The music that plays from it may give us an opportunity to reconsider our relationship with materials and their possibilities. This work was created by Material Record, a research group that conducts research on the theme of materials = earth's resources.
