“The environment is animated by a metaphorical digital nervous system. Sculptural “neurons” float above workspaces and interweave through shared and public areas. These forms, lit internally by fiber optic filaments, provide continuity, fluidity, and a soft ambient glow in an otherwise dimmed environment. The result is an overlay and a pronounced juxtaposition: a twenty-first century process-oriented enterprise in a classic twentieth century corporate envelope.”

Sharing this excellent series of videos on Y2K and some of the other 90s-2000s design styles we study, like Global Village Coffeehouse & Corporate Gen-X Cyber.

Miru Takayama With Two-Mix – Rhythmic Youth (1999)

Works by artist ‘Sad Mori’ (Sadahito Mori)

“For Mr. Mori and his revolutionary creations, the computer is an important bridge between mind and art. “To me, a computer is a tool I use to crystallize my imagination visibly.” While his mysterious insects lure us into a fantasy, his exquisite neo-Japanese style calls forth the beauty of nature. ‘Kusou Konchu’ (Imaginary Insects) is his latest innovation and has received international acclaim. He is establishing an Internet museum called ‘Kusou Konchu Zukan’ (The Book of Imaginary Insects) and he would like to develop them into animation. “To create all-new visual images that no one has ever seen before is absolutely wonderful. So I have to keep it up,“ he says and smiles. He is a member of the Society of Illustrators (NY), the Tokyo Illustrators Society, and the Japan Graphic Designers Association.
