"HERO HEROINE" is an experimental new media artwork that combines fantasy and reality by anime style. Now the technology that extends our sensation has become familiar, we can enjoy an unprecedented imagination by abandoning the commitment to the boundary between fantasy and reality.
The experience of "HERO HEROINE" is about 5 minutes. By shooting of 6 cuts in front of the chroma key curtain, 20 seconds of video is generated. The poses and movements taken are analyzed and synthesized by the unique systems automatically, and you appear in the video as the hero or heroine with a transcendent power.
The video will be released on the Twitter immediately after the experience. The feature of this artwork is that the video generated by each experience is incorporated into the story. To become a hero or heroine, it is necessary to defeat the enemy. The opponent you knockdown is the previous perticipant, and you will be knocked down by the next one. The environment in which the justice and evil swapped will appear on Twitter's timeline.
