Visualizing the Invisible, Listening to Sounds That Cannot Be Preserved──Daichi Yamamoto Views 'ICC Annual 2026: Leave / Remain / Receive'
Rapper Daichi Yamamoto discusses the theme of record and memory while viewing the media art exhibition 'ICC Annual 2026: Leave / Remain / Receive'.Summary
Rapper and musician Daichi Yamamoto visited the ongoing long-term exhibition 'ICC Annual 2026: Leave / Remain / Receive' at the NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC]. The exhibition's theme is the relationship between history, technology, and media. Daichi, who studied interactive art in London, expressed excitement about all the works. The article highlights several key pieces: Wu Chi-Yu's installation linking the history of celluloid film and Taiwan's camphor industry to modern generative AI; Kim Young Eun's series examining preserved versus unpreserved sounds using wax cylinder recordings; SUGAI KEN's binaural sound installation in an anechoic chamber creating an unseen presence; and Suzue Nori + Ryu Higa's laser network visualizing information spread through social media during global protests. Daichi connected these themes to his own music production, noting the value of uncontrolled moments in live performance and the transient, 'gift-like' nature of experiences that may not need to be permanently recorded.
