Originally intended as a CD-ROM that merely contained digital transfers of Kaneko's paintings. But after spending a lot of time with Shono, it transformed into an interactive work. Shono wanted to capture Kaneko's "bewitching" studio in digital form through interactivity. He wanted you to poke around Kaneko's space just as he did. There were no digital cameras used so all the photos are scans of analog photos.
