Song of the Data Angel (2023): • Yuri Umemoto - Song of...
3 video music works by Yuri Umemoto for Exhibition as the 7th fellow of the Kuma Foundation
Umemoto was baptized as a Catholic soon after birth and grew up with church music, which led him to Western music. His childhood was also shaped by Japan's otaku culture in Akihabara's Electric Town, where he was exposed to 'dempa' songs through his father's influence. These varied musical backgrounds blend in his work. In "Song of the Data Angel," Umemoto captures an angel managing the data of all worlds through song and dialogue. He employs the "OtoMAD" technique, layering and amassing decorative elements from a broad character database onto his work. This angel, depicted as a moe (youthfully innocent) character with wings, is reminiscent of 'putti' or 'cherubim'-the wise angels. The putti are visualized as youthful figures, an artistic expression of enduring youth.
