Japanese Media Art Timeline Infographics Project
Atsuhito Sekiguchi(JP), Hiroko Myokan(JP), Minoru Noma (JP), Keiko Kobayashi (JP), Ryoji Tanaka (JP)
We are trying to build a history of Japanese media art from the event, with the artistic support of company Mesena (mécénat) and through the student-teacher relationships at the educational research institute. It will consist of an infographic that clearly displays the relationship between the winning projects at PRIX ARS Electronica and those at the Japan Media Art Festival.
Device Art Chronicle
Machiko Kusahara (JP)
The term “device art” is already part of the vocabulary of contemporary art. The Device Art Chronicle demonstrates how the concept was developed within the Device Art Project, aiming to explain the prehistory of media art, and how local and global features are connected. We were able to define features that characterize Japanese media art (e.g. playfulness), which can be better understood by relating them to earlier cultural traditions. Nevertheless, the essence of device art is also international and its features are shared by many works of media art.
Mezza: Archivo Liberado
Gonzalo Mezza (CL), Sebastián Vidal Valenzuela (CL)
Mezza: Archivo Liberado reviews, in the eyes of a media art pioneer, the initial processes of technological implementation in Chilean art. By a selection of documents and works, the exhibition offers a revisionist view, presented as an exercise in media archeology, exploring one’s own history (of middle age) under different layers through a body of work that progressively models and anticipates important conflicts of today’s society.
Remake the Media History!
Martina Ivičič (SK)
Born online, new media art is like a cultural nomad aimlessly walking through the rhizomatic meanders of an archive without walls. It flickers back and forth in the annals of history and crosses geographic, cultural, and institutional boundaries, both physically and virtually. The aim of the subject The Best of New Media Art is to acquaint students with media art history in a similar way.
