The festival is a two-week-long showcase of exhibitions, screenings, events and live talks. This year’s festival theme, ‘Technology’, contemplates the relationships between video and other forms of media with creative expression. Participating artists include Yu Araki, Hayama Ryo, Kim Insook, and Hiroyuki Oki, who are showcasing their latest multi-media projects in the exhibition room on the 3rd floor of the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum.
In the ‘off-site installation’ at Yebisu Garden Place, you’ll find a series of works by artists who were commissioned to help produce the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Familiar names include emblem designer Asao Tokoro, Tomoki Hiramoto, who assisted in the production of 3D drone animations, and Kota Iguchi, who was the mastermind behind the moving pictograms.
Note: The main exhibition is free, but some of the other screenings and events might have an entrance fee.
