「B-Ske's Adventure」

This project began from my personal daily life, which was rolling along the monotonous track of daily routines, where I injected the necessary emotions into my life from indirect experiences through mass media or computer games. In particular, with the increasing proximity between the digital world and the real world, I imagine applying these habits to the near future when experiences like experience playback or environmental simulation become possible.1. Select and download someone else's 'experience template' provided on the (future) web.2. Through a self-injection format of experiences, attach someone else's experience to your own timeline.3. A sequence of experiences that transcends the past and present, as well as others and oneself.「B-Ske's Adventure」 is also based on a reworked video of the same name circulating on the internet. The original 「B-Ske's Adventure」 is an episode of a Rube Goldberg device continuously shown in the middle of broadcasts for a children's program called "PythagoraSwitch," which has been airing on NHK in Japan since 2002.「B-Ske's Adventure」 extracts the actions from the original work from the first-person perspective of the protagonist, the 'red marble (B-Ske),' and prepares arbitrary templates for experience playback. B-Ske's life, which sets out to rescue his brothers captured by the villain, is a series of empty rotations from a first-person perspective. "B-Ske's Adventure" consumes these elements of 'experience' belonging to B-Ta, B-Ske, and B-Goro, which are components of Rube Goldberg devices, in the midst of a freely repeating timeline of rotations, as fuel to continue the adventure.
