July 2010
A flash work made for the website Trickhouse, curated by Shayna Schapp. Ayumi Suzuki and I were asked to play with the idea of being Translocal. We held a virtual conversation on a “table” between Amsterdam and Tokyo. We created an interactive table for the web, a space where much like a real table, it embodies the idea of getting together, sharing thoughts, meeting, and eating. This table’s conversation however, is done without language where instead the objects spoke our own momentary memory associations through videos both found and made. By having others click the objects, they participate in and activate our dialog through their own curiosity. This is an area of interest to us, communication with video and stimulating more complicated layers through seemingly simple objects. After numerous collaborations together Ayumi & I decided to officially announce our collabo name, “Miami Beach Tokyo Peach” (when she says it with her heavy Japanese accent, it sounds suitingly enough like Miami Bitch and Tokyo Pitch).
