Tree Guitar: The Trees, Our Blood Vessels
Yuto Hasebe / Japan
Tree Guitar is a string instrument, which, from the biological perspective, has an interest in formative phenomenon and imitates the growth processes of branching development such as trees and blood vessels.
Artist's Statement
What can be seen in the eyes and what cannot be seen in the eyes. We recognize the structures in the outer and inner worlds at the same time. We can see the shape of a tree in a leaf, a branch and a root, but we cannot see the blood vessels running throughout the human body. However, with medical imaging techniques such as MRI, CT and X-ray, it is now possible to see them all. They share a common branching structure, and their morphogenesis may share the same rules.
