Sight is a project by students from the University of Tokyo, which aims to visualise sound, and they were asked to create a space for a presentation at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. The main part of the booth is an interactive stage, which can be seen from the outside. The objects in the space are differentiated by "shape, colour and material", from which sound patterns are assigned to create an image. The outside of the gallery is divided into two areas: a corridor where people constantly pass by, and a place where they stay in chairs, which are linked to the device like background music. The stage for the experience is made of Braille blocks so that the visitor can recognize the area of movement by the feel of his feet, as he loses his vision when the device is attached. The enclosure was made from copper pipes. The aim was to create a space that was in keeping with the futuristic feel of the device.
