	director yoshihisa NAKANISHI cast Keico Harada synopsis The very cute and stylish but mysterious girl comes to launderette and takes a blue snorkel out of the magic golden handbag. She puts on it and dives into the drier. Where is she going in the world? Theme In the future, one leisure activity uses Virtual reality. Once you enter the "virtual rolling machine" , your consciousness can strip off its body and become avirtual body capable of strolling about a real town. If you successfully reach the goal, you leave the machine with a refreshed and pleasant feeling. This is a "washing machine for the heart" where you can wash right out those small worries and aggravations. I made this film to visually represent my wish for such a convenient device. 近未来における、仮想現実を使ったレジャーの一例です。 “バーチャル・ローリング”装置の入口から入ると肉体を抜け出た意識が、バーチャルな肉体となって現実の街の中を自由に転がり廻ります。無事にゴールに辿り着くと出口から帰還し、スカッとした爽快な気分になります。心の小さな不安や疲れがキレイに洗い流される“ココロの洗濯機”なのです。こんな便利な装置があったらいいな～という願望を表現しています。. operating system Mac OS software Adobe Illustrator,Adobe Photoshop Adobe After Effects,Adobe Premiere screenings SeNef 2003 Online Festival 1-27 Augast 2003, Seoul MAPvideo 19-26,March,2004,France ImageForum FESTIVAL 1-6 May 2004,Tokyo,JAPAN ANIMA MUNDI 2004 9-18,July,2004,Rio de Janeiro,Brazil 21-25,July,2004,Sun Paulo,Brazil International competition nominated European Media Art Festival 2005 Osnabruck 20-24,April 2005,Osnabruck,GERMANY Taiwan International Animation Festival 20-29 May 2005,Taiwan
