This exhibition will feature a special device called "GOOD PRINTER," developed in collaboration with the engineering group nomena. In a space reminiscent of a small factory, visitors can interact with the device while it's in operation, recording their momentary movements and unconscious movements as a print on the fabric. The same pattern will never be reproduced twice, and the fabric, once dried at the venue, will be used in future products.

The word "print" doesn't just refer to a design or printing, it also means "the act of leaving a trace." The traces of a finger on a foggy window or the pattern left by a bicycle tire are also part of a print. This exhibition is a place where you can experience the moment when such chance and creativity come together to create something good.

Meanwhile, nomena, the company that developed the device, is a group of engineers founded by Shohei Takei in 2012. They are constantly challenging themselves to create new things through research, experiments, and collaboration with creators and research institutions. Their efforts span the boundaries of art and technology, as evidenced by their activities in a wide range of fields and their numerous awards, including the mechanical design of the Olympic cauldron for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

When you visit the venue, you'll feel as if you've wandered behind the scenes of product development. As you watch the factory begin operations, your own sensibilities and memories will change the way you see "things." Come and experience this amazing moment for yourself.
