-ACTIVITIES-
Takuro Osaka is a pioneer of light art in Japan
The "Cosmic Ray Series " was intiated in 1995 and has
continued since then. In this work, cosmic rays are captured by
a detecting device and transformed into a blue LED display. His
related works include
"Lunar Project ", which was performed on July 16, 2000
when a long total eclipse of the moon took place. This project exhibited
an installation designed to capture moon light with 18 large mirrors
(150 x150cm) over a rice field.
In 2001 he was also invited by NASDA (National Space Development
Agency of Japan) as a fellow of "Space Art Projects "
to join one of the "Feasibility studies " for the space
assets like ISS. He experienced micro gravity through parabolic
flights in order to attempt art performances while floating.
