Ito Meikyu

Ito Meikyū is a virtual reality experience inspired by Japanese art history and literature (fukinuki yatai, The Tale of Genji, The Pillow Book). It unfolds as a sensory fresco with drawn, animated, and sound scenes in a digital labyrinth of fractal architectures, inhabited by plants, objects, animals, people, patterns, and calligraphy. The project uses the “thread metaphor” to combine text, textile, and existence, materialising on screen through weaving principles. This metaphor connects life and love, representing relationships as threads linking individuals. In this piece, drawing becomes volume and architecture—Ito Meikyū is literally the “thread labyrinth”.
