WOW's BAKERU: Explore Japan's Supernatural Folk Traditions in Interactive Digital Art

Japanese creative art and design studio WOW has brought traditional Japanese cultures to life with four large interactive digital projections. The exhibition, BAKERU: Transforming Spirits, organized by Galerie Guido W. Baudach, invites visitors to explore the supernatural world of Japanese folk traditions through transformation.

BAKERU, a Japanese term meaning 'to burst or explode', serves as a reminder that humans coexist with both the extraordinary and everyday life. The participatory exhibition simulates a space of the extraordinary, juxtaposed with the ordinary, transporting visitors into a world inhabited by supernatural beings.

The exhibition cleverly connects long-lasting Japanese religious practices with fast advancing digital technology. It bridges the gap between the northern region of Japan and the global audience, and between everyday and festive spaces. WOW's creative use of interactive digital projections allows visitors to experience these connections firsthand.

BAKERU: Transforming Spirits, organized by Galerie Guido W. Baudach, offers a unique opportunity to engage with traditional Japanese cultures in an innovative and immersive way. Through interactive digital projections, visitors can explore the supernatural world of Japanese folk traditions, fostering connections between different cultures, spaces, and times.
