Tanaka explores the importance of these pulses as she maps the resonance of sound and light, and the path from one system to another.
Tanaka's drawings of this period end with a return to painting, as she explored her infatuation with connectivity.

Atsuko Tanaka, the dressmaker, you might have guessed, is not really a dressmaker; she is in reality, a revered artist from Japan who helped to pioneer an avant-garde art movement called Gutai in the post-war years.
With her multicolored electrically wired dress, Tanaka united the Japanese traditional idea of dress, the kimono, with objects representative of a modern world, namely lights and electricity.
Reflecting on Tanaka’s work, I realize she constantly asked whether the conventions attached to an object or concept gave the said subject its identity.

Born in Osaka in 1932, Tanaka initiated her lifelong investigation into issues of representation in the early 1950s.
With Electric Dress, which flashed on and off as she walked around, Tanaka introduced a number of issues that would become central for international avant-garde artists in the 1960s: performance, body art, and the incorporation of technology.
This enormous garment, a fire-red satin dress with disproportionately long sleeves, was suspended from the ceiling and provided the backdrop against which Tanaka transformed herself in front of the audience with a series of innovative costumes suggesting a magician's sleight of hand.
