An artwork using steam and interactive images.

They say, “We tried to create an marginal space of the theme related to existence. In this installation, visitor can detect the images of butterfly inside the vapor steam. And if visitor touch them, they start to swarm around your hands and fly biside the visitor interactively. But it is impossible to touch them phisically. The visitor will experience the mystic phenomena between real and unreal in this space.”
