Masaya Kato - Glass Anthimeria (2025)

Japanese artist Masaya Kato returns to LINE with his work 'Glass Anthimeria' created as the sound installation for the 2024 solo exhibition of glass artist Mayuko Ogawa. The three compositions incorporate sounds generated during the glassmaking process as well as the sounds from the works themselves and by digitally granulating (particling) the collected glass sounds. By constructing the piece to resonate with the classical technique Ogawa adopts, pâte de verre (a method by firing powdered glass in an electric furnace), it aims to connect the classical and the contemporary, imbuing the exhibition space with a sense of temporal thickness.
