DRAW IN THE CITY is a photography book by Keita Kojima, who is also a graphic designer. The photos are created using “sclptuer on photo,” a method by which photos taken are loaded into a 3D software, and three-dimensional drawings are superimposed on the photos for rendering. This work is a drawing for the city=Shibuya and also looks like a mark inscribed in the location.

----

DRAW IN THE CITY
3D drawings are superimposed on the city.By making drawings three-dimensional, a line starts to have its body and continues to exist in the space.This action seems to be just graffiti as well as a ritual to inscribe life into the location.

DRAW IN THE CITYはグラフィックデザイナーでもある児嶋啓多の写真集です。撮影した写真を3Dソフトに取り込み、写真にドローイングの立体を重ねてレンダリングする「sclptuer on photo」という手法で制作しています。本作品は、街＝渋谷に対するドローイングであり、その場所に刻み込む印のようでもあります。

----

DRAW IN THE CITY
街に3Dドローイングを重ねる。ドローイングを3Dにすることで、線は肉体を持ちその場、その空間に存在し続ける。この行為は単なる落書きでもあるし、その場に生命を刻み込む儀式のようでもある。

These are what Keita Kojima’s sculptural works ‘Word is Human’ are output three-dimensionally.
After digital data are output using a 3D printer, they are polished piece by piece and finished with paint, making them special editions. They are limited-edition works comprising 10 pieces of works.The works can also be seen via an AR app. In the Box, there are prints taken by the author in Shibuya using the app. ※The works are made-to-order. It takes about one month to deliver it.

When worrying about something indecisively, the mind is flooded with words, and torrents of words almost crush me.I am supposed to think by myself, but words appear one after another to press me.I think that if it were not for words, I would neither think nor be bothered by them.Every time I get into such a situation, I wonder if people are controlled and moved by words, rather than they think with words.

児嶋啓多の彫刻作品「Word is Human」を3D出力したものです。デジタルデータを3Dプリンターで出力後、一点一点磨き、塗装加工で仕上げるスペシシャルエディションで、10点のリミテッド作品です。本作はARアプリで見ることもできBox内にはアプリで作者によって渋谷で撮影されたプリントも入っています。 ※本作品は受注してから制作のため1ヶ月ほど納期になります。

うじうじと悩んでいるとき、頭には言葉が溢れ、言葉の濁流に押しつぶされそうになる。自分で考えているはずなのに言葉はどんどん現れて僕を責め立てる。言葉がなければ考えることなく悩まされることもないのにと思う。そんな状況になるたびに人は言葉を使って思考しているのではなく言葉に支配されて、言葉に動かされているのではないかと思うのだ。

‘Augmented/Words in the City’ is an installation work that has made tweets to the city three-dimensional and has been set up with AR (Augmented Reality).This work is a photography book of AR sculptures set up in Yurakucho as the second work of ‘Augmented/Words in the City’, which was released in April 2020 in Shibuya. Kojima walks through the city, collects words coming to mind, make them sculptures, and set them up with AR in floating locations. Three-dimensionalized words become entities and continue floating in the city like creatures.

This object is not a reality but a virtual object. Its presence is virtual, but it actually exists there by making it work with location information.And, it is something that can be seen by those who can see it but cannot by those who cannot. This work dreams the way that reality and virtuality should be and suggests a new ‘now’ in which reality and virtuality are mixed with each other.

「Augmented/Words in the City」は都市へのつぶやきを立体にし、 AR( Augmented Reality) で設置したインスタレーション作品。本作は2020年4月に渋谷で発表されたAugmented/Words in the cityの第2弾として有楽町に設置されたAR彫刻の写真集です。

児嶋は街中を歩き、浮かんだ言葉を集め、彫刻化したものを、浮かんだ場所に、ARで設置していきます。立体化された言葉たちは実体を持ち生物のように都市に漂い続けます。

このオブジェクトは現実にあるわけではなく、仮想のオブジェクト。存在はバーチャルではあるが、位置情報と連動させることで確かにそこに実在しています。そしてそれは見える人には見えるが見えない人には見えないもの。この作品はリアルとバーチャルのあり方を夢想し、リアルとバーチャルが混在した新しいイマを示唆しています。

DOUBLE is a photo book by graphic designer and AR artist Keita Kojima.
It has been created using a technique called “sclptuer on photo,” which consists of layering onto a photo the 3D scan data of the location where it was photographed.
In this book, the photos are perceived as the eyes of a machine and the 3D scans as the touch of a machine, to create visuals which combine the senses of sight and touch as a way to represent the forms of urban settings.

----

DOUBLE
The senses of sight and touch
The world as projected onto the eye is said to be made of reflections of light reconstructed by the brain to create a visual image.So then, what is the form of this object I’m touching now—the form of this world?

The eyes of a machine (photos,) and the touch of a machine (3D scans).
And my own eyes and my own sense of touch, which engage with these. By mixing all of this together to create reconstructions, perhaps some of the true essence of the urban　settings will be revealed.

DOUBLEはグラフィックデザイナーでもある児嶋啓多の写真集です。
撮影した写真にその場所の3Dスキャンデータを重ねてレンダリングする「sclptuer on photo」という手法で制作しています。
今作では写真を機械の目、3Dスキャンを機械の触覚と捉え、視覚と触覚の組み合わせでビジュアルをつくり都市の姿に迫ります。

----

DOUBLE
視覚と触覚
目に写る世界は光の反射を脳で再構成、つくられたビジュアルだという。
では、わたしが今触れているこの物体、この世界は本当はどんな姿のだろうか

機械の目(写真)、機械の触覚(3Dスキャン)
それを扱う自分の目、自分の触覚。それらをミックスさせて再構築していくなかで都市はその本質を少しだけ見せてくれるのかもしれない。

The book exhibition Augmented Presentations is an exhibition composed of publications. It comprises four rooms, with each of the published works (2020–2021) taking on the role of an exhibition space. Room 1 is the AR sculpture work Augmented/Words in the City. Room 2 is Draw in the City, which superimposes 3D drawings onto cityscapes. Room 3 is Double, which mixes photographs and 3D scan data. Room 4 is The Word is Human, in which heads are replaced with drawings of written script. The book itself is thought of as an exhibition, and there are computer-generated exhibition images everywhere that imitate real exhibitions. In this sense, it is both an imagined exhibition and the pictorial representation of an exhibition. This box is both a conceptual presentation of a fictional exhibition and a collection of works in itself.

The locus of human consciousness is the subject of continual research, but the truth of the matter remains unclear. Even so, I believe that the ego is derived from words, and that it is within words that the ego resides. Without words, you would have neither thought nor concern. Viewed in this way, the true essence of a person is in their words; it seems like one could even go so far as to say that it’s less a case of people using words, and more that people are controlled by words, governed by words. The words are the people. The Word is Human is a series of figures, the heads of which are words that have been made into objects. There are many works that transform words and writing into 3D objects but, by directly putting words in the place of human heads, this work focuses directly on words and people. Anonymous figures stand still in the city, dressed in contemporary attire and resembling both men and women; these figures with words for heads are symbols of the fact that everyone’s essence is to be found in words.

意識はどこにあるのか日々研究されており、その真相はまだはっきりとは分かっていない。しかし自我は言葉に由来し、言葉の中に自我があると考えている。言葉がなければ考えることなく悩まされることもない。そう考えると人の本質とは言葉にあり、極端な話人は言葉を使っているのではなく言葉に支配され言葉に動かされているのではないかとすら思われる。言葉は人そのものだ。 The word is humanは頭が言葉のオブジェクトになったキャラクター。言葉・書を3Dオブジェクトにする作品が多いが、この作品では直接的に言葉を人間の頭部にすることで「言葉と人」というものに焦点を当てた作品になっている。頭が文字になった人間はその象徴であり、男性にも見え女性にも見えるイマの時代の服をきたキャラクターはアノニマスなものとして都市にたたずみ、誰しもの本質が言葉にあることを示している。

A new work by Keita Kojima, who has been using augmented reality (AR) to visually explore the relationship between cities, calligraphy, words, and people.Kojima draws calligraphy drawings on a non-existent city drawn by an artificial intelligence (AI) called Stable Diffusion.
He has been communicating with the city by inscribing calligraphy objects, considering calligraphy as a means to touch and communicate with the subject.The city depicted in Stable Diffusion is an AI-created city that does not exist anywhere. It cannot be seen or touched in the real world, but it certainly exists there. He inscribes "not found" on the city.
He communicates with the city that exists, though it is nowhere to be found. This act is an act of touching not only the city, but also the very words that create it.

AR（拡張現実）を用いて都市と書、言葉と人の関係性を視覚的に探求した作品を制作してきた児嶋啓多の新作。児嶋はStable DiffusionというAIによって描かれた存在しない都市に書のドローイングを描いている。
児嶋は、書を対象に触れ、対象と交信する手段と考え、書のオブジェクトを刻みこみことで都市と交信してきた。Stable Diffusionで描かれた都市はAIがつくり出したどこにも存在しない都市。現実世界では見ることも触れることもできないが、確かにそこに存在する。
彼はnot foundと刻み込み、どこにもないがたしかにある都市と交信する。その行為は都市に触れるとともに、その都市をつくる言葉そのものに触れる行為といえる。

A new work by Keita Kojima, who uses augmented reality (AR) to visually explore the relationship between the city, calligraphy, words, and people.
For Kojima, calligraphy is a means of touching and communicating with an object. By inscribing calligraphy objects, he has communicated with the city of Shibuya and other cities.
In this work, he applies calligraphy drawings to images drawn by an artificial intelligence (AI) called Stable Diffusion.He inscribed the words "not found" on the image drawn by inputting the words "pure beauty.The location of this image cannot be seen, heard, or touched in the real world, but it certainly exists.Does it "exist" or not? What is "existence" in this age?Through writing, Kojima touches upon the contradictory world created by words.

今作ではStable DiffusionというAIによって描かれた画像に書のドローイングを施している。「pure beauty」という言葉を入力することで描かれた画像に「not found」と刻み込んでいる。
このイメージの場所は現実世界では見聞きも触れることもできないが、確かに存在はする。それは「在る」のか「ない」のか。この時代において「在る」とはなんなのか
言葉のつくり出す矛盾ある世界に、書によって児嶋は触れるのだ。

Tokyo-based artist Keita Kojima (b. 1985) uses words and calligraphy in his works, attempting to identify the city by leaving traces in the space. In this work, he attaches a camera with an automatic shutter setting to his body, wanders around the city, and overlays calligraphy on the images (fragments) collected by the camera.
Kojima believes that language has the ability to disclose the world and reveal hidden aspects of reality, and that writing is not only a way to externalize our inner world, but also a means of communicating with the unseen. In "Neo-Tokyo: Walk and Write," Kojima attempts to give the city a signature by overlaying calligraphy on the fragments of the city he has wandered and collected, to plant a new layer of meaning in the city, and to reveal the relationship between language, perception, and human experience.

東京在住のアーティスト児嶋啓多(1985年生まれ)は作品のなかで言葉と書を使い、空間に痕跡を残すことで都市を確認しようとしています。今作では体に自動シャッターに設定したカメラを取り付け、都市を徘徊しカメラが集めた画像（フラグメンツ）に書を重ねています。
言語は世界を開示し、現実の隠された側面を明らかにする能力を持ち、書くことは私たちの内面を外在化するだけでなく、見えざるものとの交流の手段だと児嶋は考えています。「ネオ東京　徘徊と書」は、徘徊し集めた都市の断片に書を重ねることで都市に徴をつけ、都市に新しい意味の層を植え付け、言葉、知覚、そして人間の経験の関係を明らかにしようとしています。
