To celebrate the participation for the exhibition "Thales’ Engraving".

The digital art platform NEORT is proud to announce the official inauguration of the exhibition "Thales’ Engraving" by Media Producer Masayuki Akamatsu at NEORT++ and now distributes certificates of participation to commemorate the event. The exhibition will offer "POAP" to viewers visiting the gallery. One night in the city-state of Miletus facing the Aegean Sea, Thales was walking while looking up at the starry sky. Because he was so immersed in looking closely at the stars and searching for their truth, he was unaware of the roadside ditch and fell into it. The important thing here is that he was on the move. His behavior seems bizarre for the time because celestial bodies are generally observed at a fixed point, such as a robust observatory. So let's imagine the stars reflected in his mind and eyes. That is the essence of "Thales’ Engraving". "Thales’ Engraving" refers to a photograph or video of the starry sky that uses a special long-exposure method. Star trails appear in the dark night sky, sometimes with clouds or thunder, as well as airplanes or satellites. The camera is digitally controlled by a unique device and program, and it takes several tens of minutes to several hours to shoot. With this kind of function, you can get a variety of images that differ each time depending on location, time, weather, and so on. Please come and see the new experiments of Akamatsu, who has a long career as a media artist.
