YANOBE Kenji
Artist
[Critique by work category] Interactive art, Others
On one hand, we have a work which blows viewers away with its sophisticated digital technique and quality, on the other hand, we have a work which goes back to the extreme analog mechanism and criticizes technology humorously. Also, we have a progression from a work which is done by personal craftsmanship to a work in which the artist lays out a large scale of collaboration with musicians. I was …

[Critique by work category] Installation
Among this year's applications, there were many works in which the characteristics both of "digital" and "analog" such as with plants and fluorescent light tubes, mechanical structure and lenses are present. In the case of an installation work the human body of the person who is visiting the sight, is integral to it. This is different from media arts where human beings' "eyes and brains" …

[Critique by work category] Visual Image
In general, the quality of this year's applications was improved and diversification of technique stood out. By being offered technical advantages and a plummet in prices of software which supports making visual images, creators who have their own style in the fields of paintings and photographs have actively begun to create moving images. The lively presentation which is not framed in the …

[Critique by work category] Still Image
Works of still images are the center-core of the Art Division. In my opinion, one piece of still image can change time. I say this because I have made a discovery which I had never before encountered. The foremost aspects of Japan Media Arts Festival are that thoughts which have been generated from the brains of people who use different languages, live in different cultures, and have different …

[Critique by work category] Web
This year, we had web works of high quality in general. However, it is regretful that not one of the works stood out among them. That is why the web works could not win a prize even though some were nominated. This year, the festival also attracted many applications from abroad and they are all at a high level. The style of the works has variety and many works challenged a new direction which …

The energetic activities of Japanese artists are the result of the coming to life of Media Arts
This year, too, it was very difficult to determine which prize should go to whom because the Art Division attracted nearly half the total applications this year and every accepted work was of high quality as well as having different concepts and presentations. Especially, the quality of works among interactive arts and visual images, including those which were applied for installation were very …
