The Void Routine 空虚なルーティン

If the things get dirty, we clean them. However, the next moment dirt or dust starts to accumulate.

We can only keep it clean temporarily, even if we keep on cleaning all the time.

Chaos comes back easily in spite of the desperate efforts to prevent it from invading our universe. It is endless work to keep order in the world where human beings live. The act of cleaning resembles it in that it involves intrinsic meaninglessness.

The act of cleaning has structure that loops in the closed algorithm, and its meaninglessness can be in void, like a ceremonial action.

Imagine a floor that lost its original form as layers of paint and dust gathered, where human beings did not prevent the chaos. I repeat actions such as “scrape”, “scrub” and “wipe” to return it to the original state. Further, I dare to set the boundary between the cleaned and the dirty floors. Because it may enable us to perceive the difference, like Japanese traditional ceremony does.

I can create the void space in the dynamics of the void routine. Also, the process of that routine bears the fantastic dynamics.
