The Catching and Collecting Forest is a new learning space based on the concept of Catch, Study, Release, in which people explore the world with their bodies, discovering, catching, and broadening their interests based on what they catch. Explore with your smartphone, catch various animals, study them, and create your very own collection book.

Depending on the season, different animals live in this forest and ocean that change with the flow of real time. When you touch an animal, it will turn to face you or run away.

Download the Catching and Collecting Forest smartphone application.
When you use your smartphone's camera to look at an animal moving in the space and　shoot a Study Arrow at the animal in the camera’s view, the arrow flies out from your phone into the real space. When the Study Arrow reaches the animal, it disappears from the space and is added to your smartphone’s collection. Information about the animals you catch will be stored in the app's collection book.

When you swipe a captured animal towards a location you can see in the app’s camera, the animal is released and returns to that location.

You can also throw a Study Net at your feet to catch animals. Work together with those around you, use your body to drive animals into the Study Net to catch them, and watch as they disappear from the space and, at the same time, appear in your collection book. Swipe the captured animals away to release them at your feet.

The more you catch the same animal, the more detailed information you can record in your collection book.

Beating Valley is a three-dimensional terrain that shifts and undulates as visual and physical cognition become separated.

All the various creatures drawn by everyone live in the Beating Valley. Color in a creature on the paper provided, and see the picture you have drawn come to life and move in front of you.
Living things eat and are eaten by other living things in one shared ecosystem.
The creatures you draw will multiply if they eat other living things, but they will die and disappear if they do not eat enough, or if they are eaten by other creatures.

The salamanders eat the snakes, the snakes eat the lizards, the lizards eat the frogs, and the frogs eat the butterflies, each one propagating as a result. Likewise, the butterflies multiply in places where flowers grow.
Although flowers will bloom if people stay still, their petals will scatter if people walk around and step on them. Salamanders will die if people step on them too much.
Living creatures spread throughout the world, increasing and decreasing in number. The creatures you have drawn may be increasing somewhere.

At times, the artwork responds to Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives II, and flowers of the current season in the real world begin to grow and bloom from the creatures. When people step on the animals made of flowers, the flower petals scatter.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List is a database of the conservation status of biological species. Wildlife assessed in the Red List, including threatened and endangered species, appear in this work.

Soft Terrain is a very soft, three-dimensional slope. Various granules of light flow from high to low elevations along the terrain, layering onto each other and creating a stratum pattern.The ground sinks beneath people, and granules of light gather in these sunken areas. As people walk, the granules burst out and intermix, changing the stratum pattern.
The color of the granules of light change with the seasons, in the real flow of time.

Many water droplets fall and flow along the terrain.
When just one droplet splashes it bounces like a ball, but when people use their entire body to gather and collect the droplets, they act like water.
When the droplets separate from each other, they bounce like balls again.

A water molecule on its own is not liquid. In order for water to be a liquid, many water molecules must come together.
Because water molecules act like magnets, they stick to each other, forming a group of water molecules (a water cluster). Water clusters have an extremely short lifespan and are thought to be constantly being created and broken apart. They have a very dynamic structure and because of that, water can change into various forms.

Most living things and objects in this world, through properties that are more than the simple sum of the properties of their parts, appear as a whole.

Typhoon Light Balls are a group of giant balls that float, sink, and continuously turn. When they are pushed by a person or receive an impact, they change color and produce a tone unique to that color. The surrounding spheres respond one after another, changing to the same color and sounding the same tone in succession.
The surrounding ovoids are autonomous - when an ovoid is pushed over by a person, it rises back up on its own as it changes color, shining brightly and producing a tone. The surrounding ovoids respond one after another, changing to the same color and emitting the same tone.
Because the Typhoon Light Ball and ovoid colors are produced by light, it is possible to create nine blurred colors (light in water, sunlight on water plants, morning glow, morning sky, sky at twilight, peach, plum, iris, and spring maple), as well as three base colors (blue, red, and green), producing a total of twelve colors.
