The Ishiyama Excursion video features third incarnation AUJIK artifacts on an excursion to the Ishiyama-dera temple in Japan. The artifacts are superfluous products generated in the crossbreeding of human and technical evolution. They are in a state between resignation and euphoria, incapable of expressing themselves.

AUJIK is a New Age group that shares the Shinto belief that everything in nature is alive, even the things that we consider to be the most artificial and synthetic. Just as with other forms of animism, AUJIK worships everything that comes from nature and regards them as spiritual beings. The main difference with AUJIK is that science and technology are considered as sacred as stones and trees.
