From another station the images of the “moon” or “sight” of the station are sent to moon viewing box. Those images of the moon are projected on the screen inside moon viewing box. The mutually feed back each other to produce a night sky in a three dimensional perspective. Sights in which this moon viewing box is located box in a back garden which we worked in over a long period of time. The surrounding sights are also taken in and compounded. In short it is an expression by fusion of real space and virtual space. We chose a desired scene around moon viewing box and direct a spotlight on to it in close-up. For example by compounding cluster amaryllis in full bloom and the harvest moon we created an illusory network moon viewing box. A performer is also able to play moon viewing box by touching it. The strength pause and breath of the touch is transformed to sounds.
