SCOPE, 2023

At SCOPE Miami 2023, Transmit Studio will present Connection with Nature, featuring artists ○△⬜︎, Tomotoshi Hoshino, and Akinori Haga, who explore the enduring relationship between humanity and the natural world through distinct artistic languages. For these artists, nature is not merely a subject but an active medium—one that carries memory, identity, and emotion.

Visitors will encounter works spanning both physical and digital realms: ○△⬜︎’s The last Kuromatsu Garden, debuting in Miami, integrates the DNA data of Japan’s black pine with a living tree, creating a rare fusion of ecological information and organic life. Installed before a dry landscape garden, the work invites moments of meditative reflection.

Tomotoshi Hoshino’s large-scale Nihonga paintings, inspired by the sea, shimmer with gold leaf, evoking the brilliance of Miami’s ocean. Akinori Haga’s watercolors, striking in their chromatic intensity, express the human presence within nature with an energy that defies the medium’s delicacy.

Through the interplay of ecology, tradition, and technology, the exhibition investigates how art can serve as both expression and conduit—bridging the tangible and the intangible—and seeks to expand our sensory awareness toward a renewed connection with the living environment.
