We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Midori Yamazaki about their original and creative Digital Artworks design work. Midori Yamazaki is an award-winning service designer, that makes our world a better place with their original digital artworks works.
Midori Yamazaki ("MY") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Waiting for the Wave in Metaverse Digital Artworks. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
MY : The artwork is a three-dimensional reproduction of the momentary shape of a wave in perfect shape, ideal for surfing, which retains its aesthetically pleasing shape forever at the overlapped boundaries between physical and virtual space.
MY : The main focus was a three-dimensional reproduction of the momentary shape of a wave in perfect shape, ideal for surfing.
MY : To recreate a perfect wave in life-size and share its beauty with the audience.
MY : It took two years to come up with the idea, and six months to come up with the concept.
MY : This piece is a self-initiated work that follows my own inspiration.
MY : It is intented to produce by myself, and 2D digital art is now being sold.
MY : I met a researcher who specializes in oceanography and got the opportunity to realize the idea for this piece that I had been nurturing for a long time.
MY : Inspiration sources for this work include simulations of ocean physics.
MY : This artwork is to people who understand digital arts as an art.
MY : The title is intended to convey that the metaverse will become one of the spaces in which we humans exist, and although the definition of existence will be distorted, we will continue to evolve while flexibly recognizing and accepting the chaos of reality and unreality with positive hope.
MY : The artwork was created through a playful creative process that moves between the digital and physical world, mixing reality and virtuality. So I used various type of tools both digital and physical, such as computer language, software, and stone powder.
MY : Research on physical oceanography, geophysics.
MY : To make it applicable to various tools, the size that can be created is limited.
MY : This work was created in the relatively new category of "digital art," so I thought that submitting it to the A' design award, which is flexible in accepting new categories, would be an effective way to ensure that it would receive proper evaluation.
MY : This work uses both handcraft and digital techniques, and attempts to fuse reality and virtuality, so I was able to learn a variety of production methods.
