Saving in a form with mass, Giving a constrain, Making it finite.

Dr. Yoichi Ochiai

Saving in a form with mass, Giving a constrain, making it finite.
After repeating across the border between the data world without physical constraints and the material world with restricted in mass,
herein existence is intentionally removed the possibility of transformation of material things.
System with mass will eventually break, and system without mass will soon be forgotten.
I concentrate on the task of giving a finite body to data that has been freed due to material constraints.
Create a miniature garden of finite media devices captured from the digital and analog worlds.
The data that has become a possibility of separation is to be dear.
To taste the prejudice of giving this finiteness, from the collector’s point of view,
I want to see the media device that records data in a material form to be broken down.
