Yoichi Ochiai is a media artist in Tokyo, exploring the boundaries of physical representation and digital forms towards Digital Nature. These NFTs are captured from his "materialized" artistic installation by using large bokeh lens and digital camera. In this process, he re-digitalized "computationally generated physical sculptures" into motion visual NFTs. This collection represents reincarnation of digital and materialized forms, mediate the landscape of Digital Nature.

Re-Digitalization of Waves

NFT work captured from my "physical installation work" via 1950s old lens and edited to loop NFTs.
 Physical installation work: "Borrowed Scenery and Materialized Waves". (2019)

In Tibetan Buddhism, there is a Buddhist tool called a maniwheel. It is said that spinning it has the same effect as praying words. As the maniwheel rotates in the landscape, it plays the words of prayer for reincarnation, reminding us of the harmony and transformation of the human soul and the landscape. Yoichi Ochiai found the inspiration there. And “borrowed scenery” is the principle of "incorporating background landscape into the composition of a garden" found in traditional East Asian garden design.

This digital sculpture represents that physical "materialized" digital wave is digitally captured and transformed into NFT, mediate the landscape of Digital Nature.
