From SF to Tokyo: MetaCher Brings the ‘Prompt is Art’ Concept to Tokyo With AI+I=All?
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, 2023 (CarryOnHarry.com)
–
Silicon Valley-based artist MetaCher recently closed /imagine… AI+I=All?, a solo exhibition that explored the role of AI prompts in generated images and their intrinsic relationship to the human mind. The exhibition ran in the ARTiX³ Gallery from June 27 to July 1, 2023. It is a poetic continuation of her current research—AI prompts as art—established during her previous New York exhibition, Prompt IS Art.
Like the concept of “the medium is the message” proposed by McLuhan, MetaCher said, “The unique medium of AI prompts have become this era’s distinctive material, playing a crucial role in highlighting the interaction between humans and large-scale models.”
/imagine…Prompt IS Art
MetaCher extended her exhibition from New York to Tokyo. The artwork features the “/imagine…” and includes the prompt from the early AI software Midjourney, representing the artist’s understanding of the current era. The choice of the word “imagine” symbolizes the beginning of a shared imaginative era between humans and machines. The art installation contained screens, musical devices, projector, and a robotic arm, evoking a mysterious ritualistic atmosphere. In uniting them, these devices created an ensemble that sparked imagination and collaboration among the artist, viewers, and those behind the screens.
Donate Your Prompt
One of the groundbreaking artworks of the exhibition, Donate Your Prompt, combines prompts from MetaCher’s previous exhibitions to form AI-generated videos. It absorbs real-time data—as viewers stand close to it and move, they see the prompts behind the visuals. An invisible but existent barrier is broken by bringing in the viewers; there is a sense of shared participation and ownership. Furthermore, the gallery’s real-time atmospheric conditions inform the visuals. This complex work suggests that technology, when prompted by humans, can also perceive. MetaCher describes her inspiration for Donate Your Prompt as “our imagination for the future and our participation in the present.”
/imagine…Touch the Future
This thought-provoking artwork sparks dialogue on the benefits and drawbacks of AI integration, encouraging critical engagement. Prompt words, circuit boards, and AI-generated artworks highlight their relevance. MetaCher emphasizes the vital role of prompts in guiding AI while emphasizing the importance of human imagination and participation. The creative process is valued as initial ideas hold their own beauty.
/imagine…
During the exhibition, MetaCher shared her thoughts with visitors, alongside co-speaker Professor Jin from the College of Art at Nihon University.
The art world has experienced an influx of AI art in recent years. However, MetaCher introduces an innovative perspective regarding AI in art and, more specifically, the role of human imagination and ingenuity in AI prompts.

Tokyo Soul Singer Tyrone Hashimoto Releases New Single Oct. 2, Plays Tokyo Jazz Club Same Night
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Tyrone Hashimoto (born Shunichi Suzuki), a Tokyo-based singer-songwriter,, plans to release his latest single, "Wake Up in the Morning Sun," across streaming platforms on October 2, per his production company Teddy Bear Productions. The artist will celebrate with a live performance by the Lakeside Struttin’ Band at Sometime Jazz the same evening.
The song arrives as the latest entry in what Hashimoto has called the "Music Cruise" series, an ongoing project now in its seventh installment, according to prior coverage of his work. The announcement describes the new track as an offering of encouragement, framed around the idea that a better life is within reach.
Hashimoto has built a four-decade career that spans well beyond his nine solo albums, all recorded in English, and a catalog the announcement puts at more than 600 original songs. He’s written jingles for McDonald’s, KFC, Nissan, Canon, Sharp, Kodak and Tokyo Disneyland, among other clients, and took a bronze prize at the Cannes Commercial Film Festival in 1994 for a Panasonic spot. One commercial job, for the Japanese coffee brand UCC, reportedly involved bringing James Brown into the studio to sing for the ad.
Originally from Yaita in Tochigi prefecture, Japan,, Hashimoto won the Grand Prix at the first All Japan Folk Music Festival at age 17, citing Simon & Garfunkel and Peter, Paul and Mary among his early influences. He went on to work with Haruomi Hosono’s Tin Pan Alley project, played a role in Yellow Magic Orchestra’s debut album, and became an original member of La Orquesta Del Sol, described in the announcement as Japan’s first major salsa band.
His American profile traces back to a 1987 visit to Seattle, where local press and broadcasters, including KIRO, KUOW and NBC affiliate KING5, covered his music; a KING5 documentary profiling the artist that was subsequently distributed to 37 additional U.S. markets. He has also taught voice and guitar to more than 1,000 students, including Japanese musicians Sugizo, Miyavi, Takeru and Junya Enoki, and recently received an honorary doctorate in music education from University of Perpetual Help System DALTA in the Philippines.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the throughline here isn’t the single itself but the career behind it: a working musician who has moved fluidly between recording artist, jingle writer and educator for going on 40 years, in two countries, without a signature hit driving any of it.

London indie-punk band Song 1 have released a new five-track EP called What The…., following a year of lineup changes and what the band describes as a shift toward sharper, more off-kilter songwriting.
According to the announcement, the record lands following months of roster adjustments that solidified the five-member configuration, and the record is framed as the sound of that lineup settling into place. The band describes the title not as a literal question but as a kind of shrug, an expression of the loose, sideways attitude that runs through the tracklist.
The EP opens with “Feeling Sideways,” which the band positions as the reset point for this new phase, constructed from restless grooves and crooked rhythms, per the band’s description. The focus single, “Crooked,” follows, built around jagged guitar work, live drums and a melodic bassline, with the line “I move crooked but I land just right” serving as the track’s stated thesis.
“Morning Sun” is described as a tonal shift toward something wider and brighter, using imagery like a “paper weight sky” to move from heavier material toward something more lifted. “Not Lost” continues that throughline lyrically, with the band pointing to the line “I’m not lost, I’m just aligned / With the beat that hides between your time” as a statement of purpose. The EP closes with “My Shadow’s Got Its Own Mind,” which the announcement calls a late-night, low-lit close to the record, framing the band’s embrace of unpredictability as a deliberate stance rather than a lack of direction.
Taken together, the band and its team describe What The …. as the clearest statement yet of Song 1’s identity: an alternative indie-punk work anchored in big hooks, live-wire guitars and knowing self-awareness about not fitting a mold.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether “Crooked” gives the band a genuine breakout moment beyond the EP cycle, since focus singles built around a clear lyrical hook are often where a band either finds a wider audience or doesn’t.
No compass or straight lines required, as the band themselves put it, just an audience willing to turn it up.
