Exhibition concept + exhibition contents
The story of this exhibition is based on the fictional myth, "OCEAN's Book". The temple of the Holy Spirit is engraved with the memories of the heroes who devoted their lives to liberate humanity. It is worshiped for the essential mission of the algorithm war in which the corps of KAWAII fellows freed from various devices that dominates mankind and returned to nature. The concept of OCEAN is to connect mankind by naming the Earth as the sea, to unite all living organisms that live on this earth under our inner OCEAN.
"Memory Wave" - Electric Healing Ride
In addition to the exhibition at PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO, you can also enjoy the ride "Memory Wave" that you can experience for free in the atrium space of Shibuya PARCO 4F.
Memory Wave| Memory wave
Let's go on a journey to yourself, a voyage to infinity. Mobby, the OCEAN mascot, will lead you to an eternal OCEAN deep in memories of time. Let's remember that we were a star and be guided by that light! As you go through this journey, you will be healed and return to your original self, the shining sphere of light. You are to heal a community of consciousness filled with love. OCEAN is you, and OCEAN is I!
Memory Wave is an experiential art work that combines light, sound, and movement to lead the user to a transcendent state. It is designed to resonate with the positive wave of our original existence. I hope that everyone on this memory wave will feel the power to bring peace and harmony to the planet, and that the world will be saved.

FriendsWithYou are a two-person art collective founded in 2002 by Samuel Albert Bokson, born in Miami, and Arturo Sandbar, born in Havana, Cubana. Their works are embodied as experiences, immersive installations, sculptures, paintings, animations, and live performances, including the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA, LA), the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA, Indianapolis), the Haus der Kulturen der Welt Museum (Berlin), Santa Barron, Art Museum (Berlin), Santa Barron, Santa Barron), Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Art Museum, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Art Museum, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, Santa Barron, In 2018, he was in charge of designing Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NY. In 2022, a huge steel sculpture called Star Child, commissioned by the city of Miami Beach, was installed on the W 41st and Pine Tree Drive, and was acquired as a permanent artwork by the city. Friends with You released the monograph We Are FriendsWithYou” from Resolution in May 2014, and also produced the animation series True and the Rainbow Kingdom, which hit Netflix.
FriendsWithYou creates hands-on works that propose "building new relationships" based on the context of "Magic," "Luck" and "Friendship." Their works, including large-scale installations and immersive exhibition plans, are often described based on the context of "aesthetics of relationships" in which the work works only by the presence of others, but its essential feature is that it is more intuitive and often places importance on the point of accidentality and play, incorporating the innocent children's perspective. There is an artist's attitude to be faithful to the fundamental energy of human creativity, such as the free imagination, healing power, and the driving force of hope, and through their work, we can connect with ourselves and others, expand friendships, build communities, and deepen our relationship with the natural world.
