Gemotion is a soft and living display created by professor Yoichiro Kawaguchi from the University of Tokyo. Gemotion consists of 72 air cylinders placed behind a flexible 39 x 24 inches large screen. The 72 cylinders are used to push and pull the screen according to the actions projected onto the very same, making Gemotion bulge and collaps in sync with the graphics on the screen, thus creating visuals that literally pop out at the viewer.
The Gemotion screen was displayed as part of this year’s media art exhibit, Nihon no hyogen-ryoku, at the National Art Centre in Tokyo, Japan.
