SIGNIF Inc. – Shoichi Kita | Central Festival 2025 – Stage Titles

The Japanese studio SIGNIF Inc, together with director Shoichi Kita, reinterprets minimalism for their client Central Music & Entertainment Festival 2025, through Motion Design as a choreography of simplicity and impeccable elegance.Set against a black and white palette, concentric squares come to life with fluid animations: they expand and contract to the rhythm of electronic pulses, while vertical lines stretch like visual metronomes. Every movement, precisely synchronized with a sound design of sharp clicks and deep bass, transforms symmetry into a sensory experience.The gradients between shapes interact with audio frequencies, where light and shadow dance to the beat of ambient crescendos. The word CENTRAL, revealed in sync with a sharp sting, reinforces the project’s near-mathematical balance. Without excess, SIGNIF proves that minimalism is not static: it is a bold dialogue between motion, silence, and rhythm.
