<サザエさん時空> Sazae-san Time-Space, Interactive Web Installation, 2025
Sazae-san Time-Space is an interactive web artwork that exposes the unchanging human essence hidden behind the dazzling evolution of AI technology.
The title derives from the Japanese animated series Sazae-san, referring to a spacetime where characters never age despite the passage of decades,
a metaphor for time that does not change.
While AI systems promise infinite speed and automation, the core of creation still relies on human labor and memory.
This project intentionally ruptures the smooth surface of automation to reveal the hidden layer of human intervention and the noise of labor beneath the algorithm.

Preface: The Experience
The journey begins with a pristine AI command interface where smooth interactions and refined mechanical sounds promise the perfection of automation.
However, this illusion is short-lived. Upon executing a prompt, the polished surface collapses into a violent visual glitch, breaking the silence with the noise of labor,
a chaotic symphony of whispers, frantic typing, and mouse clicks. The screen then shifts into a dark, abstract void where thousands of particles swarm to process the command.
These particles represent working humans moving not with algorithmic efficiency but with organic unpredictability.
Finally, as the system returns to the initial interface, the generated output bears the scars of this process.
Traces of label boxes and unremoved noise remain as artifacts, serving as undeniable proof of the human intervention that the system could never fully erase.
