‘simejection mapping’ by takayuki rokutan is an user-experience based interactive installation which projects ‘japanese hirgana characters’ onto real shimeji mushrooms. from the digital mapping technique, submitted ‘hiragana characters’ are then absorbed into into the edible fungi, later to be converted into a dense network of floating letter-forms in space. controlled using a specifically designed application, the ‘simejections’ select and display variations of differently pronounced words ( for example, if you enter the japanese word ‘あめ(ame)’ in hiragana, several choices of conversions such as ‘雨(ame=rain)’, ‘飴(ame=candy)’, and ‘編め(weave)’ are revealed from the shimeji mushroom.)
