Uno believes that interactive arts are not just about technology, but it should reflect simple acts to express love about the things around him.


A photogenic and likeable Uno who shares about his childhood memories with his soft toys...

Inspired by childhood memories of hugging soft toys to sleep, JouJou-Ours is an installation that encourages all to come close and embrace these light installations, and with these close physical interactions, the embedded lights will create a magical kaleidoscope of colours... 

The shy bear installation will even blush if you go too near!

"One day I was cleaning up my closet and I found the teddy bear from my childhood. And I just recalled... how everybody should have a toy bear when we were young. And that's how we get comfort - When you are sad, when you are happy, you just want to hug the bear..."
