Sefuri ILC High school!

From a request by Fukuoka Prefecture and Saga Prefecture with the aim of receiving an invitation for the particle physics research laboratory "ILC (International Linear Collider※1)," the promotional video produced by teamLab will be published on the Internet on video websites such as YouTube on April 19 th, 2013. "Sefuri ILC High School" is a promotional video for ILC (International Linear Collider) commissioned by Fukuoka Prefecture and Saga Prefecture. The materials used within the video, including the background music, are open to the public on the Internet as free material. Students of Saga Prefecture's Waseda High School explain the mechanics of the ILC in the massive particle physics research facility through a video in the style of a musical.
1：Current high school students explain the mechanics of particle physics through a musicalPersonifying the positrons and electrons that perform the collision experiments in the "ILC," they will explain how it all works in the style of a musical. When the electrons and positrons accelerate, the high school girls currently acting will be replaced by drawings in the academy drama's final collision.
2：A video fusing live action and animation
It appeals to various communities by using high-quality high-definition recordings of the beautiful scenery in Fukuoka and Saga prefectures, energetic high school girls, catchy melodies, and animation supported by high quality pictures.

The Specially Page (Tumblr) which GIF-ized the whole volume of "Sefuri ILC High School" is exhibited.

※1　 A massive experimental research facility for particle physics. The world's largest laboratory equipment for unraveling the mysteries of the universe. It reproduces the conditions immediately after the Big Bang when electrons and positrons were colliding near the speed of light. The "Sefuri Mountains" on the border of Fukuoka and Saga prefecture is a canidate site for construction.

ARTISTE

teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra;  Amos Rex, Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; and Asia Society Museum, New York, among others.
