Research project 2. From Graphics – Enclosure is defined by graphics and each graphic is a symbol of something else or somewhere else. Nowhere is this more so than in the street fashions of Tokyo. Manga and Harajuku characters live animated lives in real time Tokyo. The difference between virtual and real is impacted as film space and the animated cartoon occupies the streets. They become their own augmentation superimposed onto the texture of the ultimate collage City. See Tokyo Textures.
