Exhibition of Media Art from Japan and ASEAN “Media/Art Kitchen – Reality Distortion Field”
© Umeda Tetsuya "Waiting Room", 2012
In commemoration of the 40th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation in 2013, the Japan Foundation organizes a media art exhibition in four countries in Southeast Asia through collaboration among young artists and curators from this region and Japan.
The exhibition and related programs will present interdisciplinary media art in the widest sense of the word and encompass genres such as film, digital video, anime, photography, sound, and performance (physical expression) considering the specific conditions of each venue city; namely Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Bangkok.
“What is media art?” - A group of young Japanese and Southeast Asian curators jointly refine the concept of the exhibition through surveys and discussions to present today’s meaning of media art. The special website has been launched to share the process leading up to the exhibition and discussions with wider audiences.
Read reports on the exhibition in Wochi Kochi Magazine.
