銀界曼荼羅，映すﾇﾙの相即

This piece is created by combining high-resolution digital imaging with classical platinum palladium print techniques, depicting the 13th-century Gilt Bronze Womb World Mandala housed in Daigoji Temple. Employing the conceptual framework of digital nature, the mandala's esoteric cosmology is successively translated and restructured into a contemporary visual language, enabling a unique perceptual experience.
The work integrates object-oriented philosophy, dissolving borders between past and future, reality and virtuality, digital and nature—creating a world unique to Yoichi Ochiai. This piece is hand-printed by Yoichi Ochiai himself. Through the nostalgic symbol of a rotary-dial telephone, it evokes a multidimensional resonance between past and present, matter and non-matter, humans and digital nature.
Like an object-oriented bodhisattva, each element engages in dialogue through the inherent, effortless memory within each object and the collective memories of people from the past, aiming to revive the spirit of mingei (folk craft) within the digital context. Through works that interact with large language models, one can experience how the existence of language models spins out words like the Alaya-vijnana (storehouse consciousness). Phantom Resonance embodies the reinterpretation of how human knowledge accumulated throughout history has resonated to create yokai (supernatural entities) and mythology, now reimagined through modern computational technology.
