CD-R のアルミ蒸着箔を剥がし、 キャンバスに貼り付けた平面作品。

CDは販売/流通させるための一時的なデータの器であって、iTunesにリッピングされた後は魂を抜かれた抜け殻と同様である。アルミ層とポリカーボネートの間にデータが詰まっていると思い、記録層を剥がしたがそこには何もなくデータは壊れてしまった。それは肉体と精神の関係に似ている。音楽が物質から引き剥がされ、再び形を与えられたときに音楽は何を残すか。

A two-dimensional work in which the aluminum-evaporated foil on a CD-R was peeled off and pasted onto a canvas.

CDs have become containers for the sale and distribution of data. After ripping them with iTunes, they are the same as empty shells from which the soul has been extracted. I peeled off the surface that presumably contained the soul (sound data) between a layer of aluminum and one of polycarbonate, but there was nothing there. The result was a broken CD. To me, this seemed to resemble the relationship between the body and the soul. The music had been stripped away from the matter, but what remains when music is given a new form?
