Until March 11, 2018, the NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC] presents “Open Space”, an exhibition introducing works of media art and other forms of artistic expression born out of today’s media environments, to a broad audience.
On display along with explanatory notes that help understanding the respective pieces are leading works from the realm of media art, artworks incorporating cutting-edge technologies, works with a critical standpoint, and in addition, projects that are currently in progress at various research institution.
Next to presenting works to view and enjoy, the exhibition was conceived as an occasion for visitors to think about backgrounds and contexts such as today’s diversified forms of media and communication, problems in contemporary society, future prospects, and in addition, new sensibilities and aesthetics.
With “Landscape of Energy”, Yuan Goang-Ming questions possibilities of crucial changes in our environment that may occur regardless of human thinking or acting, as well as forms of energy as a supporting pillar in our daily life. “Between the Bullet and the Hole” by Aura Satz is a film about ballistics as a field of study related to the motion and behavior of bullets, and about the role of women in early computing.
In the year of the 20th anniversary of the opening of InterCommunication Center, the 12th installment in the series, titled “Open Space 2017: Re-envisioning the Future” and themed around creating new future visions, looks back on the past two decades, while at once reflecting on what kind of future we might be able to propose for the decades to come.
