ABOUT
TOKYO GARDEN

What is the benefit of an online festival?
How we can utilize this unfortunate but unique opportunity?
TOKYO GARDEN will be a place where we exhibit current Japanese artists’ works, but, will also be a chance to trace the origin of Japanese Media Art through talks, interviews and a sharing archive.
KEY: Online, 2020, TOKYO, CONTEXT, ARCHIVE, LIVE, Map the new world.

COOPERATIVE EXHIBITION

Yamaguchi Garden / YCAM Garden of Threads

Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM] (JP)

Description
In this event we have produced two pieces of content, 1) the sound performance "sound tectonics #24 MYSTIC RHYTHM" by the Indonesian group SENYAWA and Japanese artist Kakushin Nishihara, and 2) the online sound artwork "quartets online" by musician Yoshihide Otomo and others. With this event, we aim to send a message in response to the times through a computer-synthesized art piece that combines a sound performance that achieves the intersection of traditional techniques with the latest technology or cultural context and a 'solo performance with someone in mind."
