Overview
A nonprofit that revitalizes abandoned houses in rural Japan and calls itself a design studio for social spatial technologies. Its residency experiment, the butterfly effect, asked how people can contribute across time to one art installation: origami butterflies grew into a dragon and a collective wishing well.
