Ginrin is an experimental PR film, a film that presents a boy’s depiction of a daydream about a bicycle, but also embodies Jikken Kobo’s blend of everyday materials and innovative technology, as well as a predilection for science fiction and a narrative of the unconscious.

When I finished watching the film, I think it has a few experimental images in the middle is very interesting, like the boy in the film is sleeping, may be about to dream but still feel in the dream before even the memory of the dream is forgotten, these images used some strange material through the form of loop to show and his music becomes very experimental unlike the beginning and end part with the string music. The content of this film is very similar to the content of my project, which is all about dreams. Ginrin gave me a lot of inspiration and I might be able to use some very abstract sounds to describe my dreams. Because indeed, when I saw the artistic images of the bicycle parts in the middle of the film, they were very abstract and blurred like a dream.

Gutai is one of the most important groups of Japanese artists. The group has a diverse range of practice, such as sound, installation, interactive and environmental art. Atsuko Tanaka’s Work (Bell)(1955) was Gutai’s first sound art piece. Work (Bell) is an interactive conceptual sculpture that Tanaka described as “painting with sound.” Arranged on the floor, the work consists of a series of electric bells attached to a long, snaking cord, echoing the composition of Tanaka’s many colorful works on canvas of interconnected networks and hubs. At the top of every hour, the gallery attendant will press the button, triggering a series of shrill electric bells to ring sequentially throughout the exhibition space.
