OHARA

Ohara is not only the specialist of handling "letter" as mentioned above, however, his methodology mainly depend on "typography". It is the typography as musical notation, composing and arranging sets of elements under a certain law, or methodology of recognizing and constructing the world, not the typography as formative art. In that sense Ohara can be called "the person of the method". In "TypogRAPy, a project with Hasunuma Shuta and llreme, composing musical pieces by going between audible figures and a visible sound images led by a writing act, Ohara's methodology is going to be raised in comprehensive art at last... As well as the cross reference of each project, Ohara also promotes conversion and diversion of methodology and the concept cultivated in other domains such as music. If we pursue "writing", we are prone to be constrained by the field of pure expression, the way to avoid that and to remain using design as communication is to be conscious of application of methodology..
