Spatial Bodies depicts the urban landscape and architectural bodies as an autonomous living and self-replicating organism, domesticated and cultivated only by its own nature. Vast concrete vegetation oscillates between order and chaos. The video is inspired by the Japanese metabolism architecture movement in the '60s and architects such as Kenzo Tange and Kiyonori Kikutake as well as cubist paintings by Marcel Duchamp and Georges Braque. Another aspect of the video is to present future possibilities with AR (Augemented Reality) technology - how to customize a whole city and share it as an open source and to let other people to manipulate and hack it.<br/>The video was filmed in downtown Osaka, Japan with a DJI drone. About 50 buildings was modeled in a 3D software - using Google maps for textures and more detailed data - and then attached to the real buildings using a motion tracking software. Music specially composed by Japanese electronica artist Daisuke Tanabe.
