Metamorphosis - Ethics and Aesthetics are One - from a Neuroscientific Perspective by Erika Matsunami

Wittgenstein's "Ethics and Aesthetics are one" is the starting point of this research. "In the Notebooks, Wittgenstein states that 'the world and life are one', so perhaps the following can be said. Just as the aesthetic object is the single thing seen as if it were a whole world, so the ethical object, or life, is the multiplicity of the world seen as a single object". (Diané Collinson, The British Journal of Aesthetics, Volume 25, Issue 3, SUMMER 1985, pages 266-272) Art transcends boundaries of race, nationality and gender. It is a creative act of unifying in the context of humanity, from the subject to the various topics, by asking questions. This point is the lack of "reality" (dealing with reality) from a sociological perspective. However, it is impossible to define humanity and reality based on sociological statistics alone–which is my perspective of Wittgenstein's "Ethics and Aesthetics are one". Thereby, I examine 'world and life' from the 21st century perspective. In other words, my research is on immateriality from a 21st-century perspective in relation to the context of neuroscience—on multifoldness. I would like to explore the following "What is diversity and its coexistence?" ...

Project "B.O.D.Y."

piece of glass-for spiral form by Erika Matsunami, 2012 (This is a core (heart) of my concept for the spatial installation (8-ch-soundinstallation) and for the audiovisual work B.O.D.Y. 2012-2013. It's a part of my sound work for the Sonority also.) (miniatures-through the simple repetition will be abstracted and finally it's not "piece of glass". This piece is a part of my sound composition which is created with pieces of broken glass.)

A part of this sound is created/generated with Shepard tone.
A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch.

This piece is a part of my sound composition with Nikals Schmincke which is created with pieces of broken glass.

B.O.D.Y. - piece of glass (2012/2024)

The representation of 4-Dimensional Sound Composition. (This composition can work the sound on mono, but the play (Wiedergabe) can with unsymmetric and multi stereo for time and space.)

Audiovisual concept and Sound composition: Erika Matsunami

4DSOUND system*: Erika Matsunami, Niklas Schmincke

*It is still open for a discusstion. My draft is for audiovisual work. A design is stereo, not for a mono-discrete diffusion. Thereby the question lies in the subject of 4-Dimensional sound composition.

B.O.D.Y. - piece of glass

Sound piece B.O.D.Y. - peice of glass 2012/2024

The topic of this work is 'envision' and audiovisual work for 'Selfie'.

'Selfie' is a subject of audiovisual art (video art) in terms of 'performativity'.

“They call it 4D sound because the sounds are not only placed in any position in a three-dimensional field, but they also move in time. So, the sounds fly around, change shape, as well as implode and explode.

4DSOUND systems are encompassing environments where sounds are around, above and beneath us. Sounds can move into a distance far beyond the space we are in, or come intimately close to our bodies.

In a 4DSOUND system, the interaction between space and sound renders a social listening area where listeners are able to explore the sonic architecture built around them."

Video 3: #collaboration by Erika Matsunami B.O.D.Y. - Piece of Glass (2012/2024) and Rudy Orlandini Flusso (2024), 2024

When I saw this video without sound, with sign language and gestures, translating this body language into English and Japanese was not important to me. His 'expression' by his sign language dealt with the topics of space, time, and body in the 4-dimensional sound B.O.D.Y. - Piece of Glass in terms of 'randomness'. In doing so, I would like to explore it in the context of Wittgenstein's, which language logic we do not have a form in our language sense yet.

– A communication between deaf- and blind disabled people

The question of 'Sinne' or 'Bedeutung'?

In a performance it is possible to act, blind disabled actors can express themselves through their movements in the spatial installation (4 D sound system/installation) and deaf disabled actors can convert their movements into their sign language.
Blind disabled actors can use their sensory device and deaf disabled actors can use their hearing device.

The common sense of both deaf- and blind disabled actors is 'touch' and 'skin sensation'.
