Oto・Iro Installation

Step into a world where the vibrant essence of Okinawa’ s nature comes to life through a harmonious blend of sound and color. Oto・Iro invites you to experience the island's rich natural beauty as it echoes through the OIST Tunnel Gallery.

This unique installation features original field recordings from across Okinawa, interwoven with synthetic sounds and projected colors. By combining these elements, the work evokes the sensory richness of the island’ s diverse landscapes, offering a multi-dimensional experience.

As you walk through the Oto・Iro installation, we hope you will feel a sense of calm and renewal — a brief yet meaningful moment of tranquility in the rhythm of daily life.

Please note: As part of a study on wellbeing, cameras will be installed and operating in the Tunnel Gallery at six locations during the installation. The images captured will be immediately and automatically processed to discard any identiable information, before a researcher sees the image. Only the coordinates of people’s locations will be recorded.
