‘What words of encouragement do you have stuck in front of your desk?'
《Words of Encouragement》 is a nationwide hope project presented through social media by media art project group ‘Space Opera’ together with Art Center Nabi.
Everyone has some memory of studying all night long at one time or another during their school years, keeping in mind ‘sleep 4 hours and you will pass; sleep 5 hours and you will fail.’ Even at this moment, people who are mentally and physically exhausted from work may be pulling themselves together by looking at the ‘I love you’ note written
From the 1st to 31st of August, Art Center Nabi presents a nationwide media art project exhibition 《Words of Encouragement》 together with project group ‘Space Opera’ who aims for public art projects within the field of media art. When you send encouraging messages that you wrote for yourself through SNS, these are exhibited through the screens at COMO. 《Words of Encouragement》 shows the course of a message written for oneself being delivered to others with similar dreams, and our desolate city will be embroidered like a piece of poetry by the warmth of the people contained in social media.
