GRINDER-MAN's "HERO HEROINE" will be featured as an interactive exhibit at "Antipodes: So Far, Yet So Close (Portuguese: Antípodas: tão distantes, tão próximos)" organized by the Japan Foundation (JF).
"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 X's timeline.

An artistic group in Tokyo created by director Hitoshi Taguchi and the choreographer/dancer Makiko Izu. Their aim is to divert the idea of “here and now” by carefully planned sensory impressions based on dance. The group carries out projects for museums, theaters, art festivals and various other opportunities across Japan and abroad. Their art beats generalization and goes far beyond the boundaries of art.
