about

望むこと。人間は望む存在だ。自然の中でも、社会の中でも、多くの人々にとって、生きることは探すことである。望むことを捨てるのはなぜこのように苦しいだろう？

一人でいること。人間は一人でいることが怖い存在だ。現在社会の中で、コミュニティーが分散され、数多くの人の中でも、一人になることがありえなくはないのだ。

現実の人間関係は複雑なものだ。お互いの望み、期待、欠点などを受け入れ、関係し合うことが必要なのだ。人と人が繋がることは非常に感動的だが、心を開くことは傷をつけられやすくなることでもある。この複雑な気持ちの中でどう進めばいい？相手と繋がるのが怖く、失うことも怖い。このままなら、一人でいるほうが安全なのか？

バーチャルの世界では、そのような不安が消されているのだ。人間であることの複雑さがなくなり、空想しか残らない。人間の望みが強いものだ。その望みだけで、世界、未来、存在が作られるのだ。完璧な相手がいるかもしれない。探せば、出てくるかもしれない。空想すれば、そばに居てくれるかもしれない。ようやく、居なくならない相手がいるのだ。怖くない相手、欠点のない相手。だが、現実にいない相手。

バーチャルは現実を表すのが実際に可能なのか？空想の力から逃亡できるのか？無形なものは有形になれるか？

現在、梅レコードは、チリ、サンティアゴの Chiodata のアルバム "Lucestas" をリリースする。

Desiring. Humans are creatures of desire. In nature and in society, for many people, living is a form of searching. Why is it so painful to throw away our desires?

Being alone. Humans are creatures who fear being alone. In modern society, where communities have become fractured, even among large number so of people, being alone is not impossible.

Modern human relationships are complex things. Coming together necessitates accepting another's desires, expectations, and weaknesses. Connecting with another person is a highly emotional activity, but it also opens one's heart to wounding. How can one proceed amidst these complex feelings? Connecting with the other is frightening, and yet so is the prospect of loss. If this is the case, is it safer to remain alone?

In the virtual world, such fears are erased. The complexity of being human disappears, leaving only fantasy. Human's desires are powerful. Desire alone can create worlds, futures, and existences. Perhaps the perfect other does exist. If one searches, perhaps such an other will appear. If one fantasizes, perhaps they will be there by one's side. Finally, someone who won't leave you. Someone who isn't frightening, someone without any flaws. But, someone who is unreal.

Is it truly possible for the virtual to represent reality? Can we escape from the power of fantasy? Can the immaterial become material?
