Artist Statement on Strange Attractors (2010)

A Strange Attractor...

It's a mathematical concept, where a trajectory of a graph seems to be attracted to certain point(s)/line(s)/plane(s) in a seemingly unpredictable manner.

Does that exist in a life one experience? Can i observe that in my short life? And can i feel that math through my life?

The performance on November 7 will be conducted in English; the performance on November 9 will be conducted in Japanese.
