This piece is a technical approach to the idea of 'the coexistence of structure and chaos' and was intended to be shown in Akihabara, the electric town of Tokyo, which has a very complex, structured and chaotic atmosphere. Lego is such a technical and modular system that has become an icon of the Order. It is known to the public at the same time by its conditions of "rigid" and "versatile". In this work, both behave in a very postmodern way. The development of the pieces in the field follows the almost fractal pattern of the 'aurea proportion'.

Akihabara TV
An international video art exhibition in Tokyo's famous electric town - is based on a very simple but unique idea: to change the usual view of Akihabara by showing site-specific video art on monitors and TV screens throughout the town. Short video works by 34 artists from 12 different countries were shown on as many of the thousands of monitors and televisions in the area as possible for the installation.
