Hokkaido Museum

PLANET SNOW Museum

An android created by ISHIGURO Hiroshi will visit the Hokkaido Museum. Once this android gazes upon the museum, its ordinary exhibition rooms will change into spaces where visitors can reconsider things with a perspective from the future.

This perspective will raise the question of “what does it mean to be human”

HIWA Kazuhiko “walkingpractice feat. HIWADROME” 2023

The Hokkaido Museum, home to an extensive collection of materials on nature, history, and culture, will be transformed into a stage reflecting the future through the appearance of an “android” that drew attention at the Osaka-Kansai Expo.

Bringing together the expertise of three museum curators from different fields and cutting-edge technology, サイアフ will create an exhibition that integrates into the museum’s permanent exhibition hall and intersects the region’s memories with the future.
