TOMATO...
tomato was founded as a collective of artists, designers, musicians and writers. Each one of the creatives involved is essentially independent, choosing to work and collaborate with the wider group on an individual project basis. Currently there are ten active members in the collective, and many others have played important roles during the ongoing development of tomato.
In recent years, tomato has recorded successes with hosting workshops, publishing, exhibiting, live performances and public speaking, as well as working with clients in the areas of advertising, architecture, fashion, public installations, music, tv & film and graphic design.
The future will...

underworld played the oblivion ball at the makuhari messe in tokyo.
rather than show videos in the 'chill-out' space it was decided to create a live painting performance.
a wall 42.5 metres long by 7.2 metres high was erected and over the course of 16 hours wall was covered with work by simon and john from tomato, karl from underworld, naomi troski and toru yoshikawa. jason sent over images to be interpreted by us and the artjam crew of helpers. rick 'appears' in simon's drawn work. a live cd was released of the event. see underworld; book of jam 3 for more images

TV ASAHI
tv asahi approached tomato to create a cross media identity for the relaunch and rebranding of the japanese terrestrial channel 5. the starting point was the invention of a trademarkable, unique and ownable identity. the next step was in the words of the tv asahi brief "to make it live and breathe"
the identity is generated by sound input. it then generates the station's aural signature.
the on-screen identity is never repeated.
