Phantoming Waves

Riichiro Yamamoto

Royal College of Art

Phantoming Waves is a research-led project exploring how landscapes shaped by anticipated disaster can be sensed, remembered and transmitted across time. Developed through fieldwork in Kochi, Japan, where communities live with the predicted Nankai Trough earthquake and tsunami, the project combines seismic sensing, sound, 3D scanning and speculative storytelling. During the experimental phase, Tectosonic Renderer translated real-time ground movement into sound, vibration and light, exploring the Earth as a continuously moving presence. These investigations informed Nai no Do, a short film imagining a future pilgrimage through which memories of disaster are carried across generations.
