Osaka Expo: Yoichi Ochiai’s “null2”

The Osaka Expo. Yoichi Ochiai’s “null2.” It’s so out of this world!

A comprehensive laboratory for philosophy, aesthetics, and technology.

This isn't about the future or amazing technology or anything like that.

Rather than “thinking” about Yoichi Ochiai’s philosophy, is it more a matter of “feeling” it—or is it like stepping inside Mr. Ochiai’s mind?

It is a philosophy to be experienced.

A member of the audience asked the AI this question.

"Who Is Yoichi Ochiai?"

That's what I want to know most, too.

null2 was the embodiment of Yoichi Ochiai's philosophy.
