Latent Grains 15
Latent Grains 15 appears calm at first glance, almost contemplative. A vertical transition from deep blue through turquoise and green to a warm yellow in the lower part of the image unfolds slowly, without dramatic breaks. The colors don't seem to clash, but rather to support each other – as if they remember their origin.
The image evokes a landscape-like feel without ever explicitly depicting one: sky, atmosphere, a diffuse horizon. This legibility, however, remains unstable. What we see is not a place, but a state of being. The soft transitions are reminiscent of the Japanese concept of ma – the in-between space where meaning is not fixed, but rather felt.
At the same time, Latent Grains 15 alludes to an animistic perspective: color here appears not as a surface, but as a carrier of energy. Each zone possesses its own presence without detaching itself from the whole. Nothing dominates; everything is in balance.
Within the context of the series, this work demonstrates particularly clearly how Taketo Muroi uses AI not as an instrument of escalation, but as a means of calming. The machine produces not a spectacle, but a quiet, vibrant order – an image that doesn't seek explanation, but lingers.
