Get It Studio presents Memoka, an interactive art installation
Some memories remain clear, while others gradually lose their shape. Get It Studio gives this process a physical presence through Memoka, an interactive art installation presented at Range Rover House, Kudan House, in Tokyo from 30 October to 1 November 2026. With its reflective silver body and solitary eye, the unusual figure appears almost alive, although its origins remain deliberately ambiguous. Behind its seemingly playful appearance lies a more personal question about the experiences that make us who we are, and the ways they continue to change us.
Created by Sandra Golay and Alexandre Armand, the founders of Get It Studio, Memoka takes its name into a territory where memory becomes visible through form. Its rounded silhouette is immediately recognisable, yet the surface tells a less predictable story. Parts appear eroded or fractured, carrying irregularities that resemble the marks left by time. The sculptures are covered in silver leaf, which catches reflections from the surrounding environment. As the viewer moves, the object seems to change with them, giving its otherwise static body an unexpected sense of movement.
The Tokyo presentation, titled Stability is Temporary, was organised across three interconnected spaces at Kudan House. The experience began with projection mapping, where Memoka’s familiar outline became a screen for countless moving particles. They gathered into temporary formations before dispersing again, suggesting the unpredictable nature of recollection. Here, the figure no longer depended on a solid surface to exist. Its identity was expressed through movement, with each successive image replacing the one before it.
In the interactive installation, visitors were invited to influence the experience through touch. Their gestures illuminated portions of a dark digital landscape, gradually revealing fragments that would otherwise remain concealed. The work introduced a human dimension to the installation, allowing individual actions to alter what could be seen. It also offered a quiet parallel with the act of remembering, when a small encounter or familiar sensation can bring something forgotten back into focus.
Physical sculptures and fragments completed the presentation. Their reflective surfaces offered a different experience from the digital works, inviting closer attention to the imperfections of each form. Although the figures shared the same underlying silhouette, their individual variations suggested different histories. This relationship between a consistent exterior and an evolving identity became one of Memoka’s most interesting qualities. The work allowed the familiar figure to remain recognisable without ever appearing entirely fixed.
Based in Tokyo, Get It Studio approaches its projects through a close relationship between traditional craftsmanship and digital experimentation. With Memoka, the artists extend this interest into a reflection on what gives an object character, and whether something without consciousness can nevertheless suggest a life of its own. The installation offers no definitive answer. Instead, it leaves the viewer with the possibility that identity is never truly permanent, but something continually shaped by everything that has come before.
