Capturing the Flow of Time –  
The Visual Art Camera App “TimeSlicer” Now Available Worldwide.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Overview
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Creative studio RINPA (Founder: Yoshihiro Kunihara) has released
“TimeSlicer,” a visual art camera app that enables users to record and
visualize the passage of time in real time on iPhone. The app became
available worldwide on the App Store on October 28, 2025.
It was initially launched in Japanese earlier in October 2025, followed
by this global release including English support.

■ About TimeSlicer
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TimeSlicer captures what traditional cameras cannot—the movement and
flow of time itself. Using real-time slit-scan technology, it reconstructs
motion along the time axis to create unique, layered visual expressions.

In moments when human movements intersect, time interweaves and
transforms. Through the trails traced by a rotating body and by two
people passing each other, the app reveals the hidden layers of time
within everyday life.

No video editing or special settings are required; users can capture
the unseen structure of time instantly and intuitively with just their
iPhone.

■ Background
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TimeSlicer was developed by Yoshihiro Kunihara, who was inspired by
artist Toshio Iwai’s work “Marshmallow Scope.”
Kunihara first explored the same slit-scan technique in 2008 as a
media installation piece, later reconstructing it as a mobile app
experience that anyone could use.
After the release of the Japanese version, the app has now been made
available worldwide.
