The very best of Ars Electronica 1979 - actual
Amagatana (M 10/1)
Yuichiro Katsumoto, Masa Inakage
Keio University, Inakage Lab (JP)

“Amagatana” (the name means “rainy sword” in Japanese) is an example of Ubiquitous Content that is a mystical sword for enjoying the blithe feeling after the rain. “Amagatana” seems to be just a plastic umbrella. However, it makes a sound of swords clashing in response to the player’s swing. “Amagatana” also gives us the consciousness “What is your reality is not everybody's reality”. The project is granted by CREST, JST.
