    Morpho Scenery

    Yoichi Ochiai

    When we observe the scenery, we often ignore the sense of material existence from scenery itself. The components of scenery is obviously material existence, however they reflect or emit the light and the light pass through the transparent air and our eyeballs, the light finally becomes the image on our retina as the couple of two dimensional images. A distant view lacks of three dimensional perception, no doubt, it is the representative image of this transformation process from the material to the image.
    Here, we set the analog optics in this scenery, especially between the mater and the image and add the momentum towards the optical device. The momentum in the material world invokes our sense of embodiment and we recalls the materiality of scenery from the observation. The analog optical machine, that transforms distant view as the representative of image, spotlights the the paradox between immaterialness of image and materiality of image via same media instruments. It draws relationship between image and matter, human nature and nature itself.
