The categories for entries to the Japan Media Arts Festival might have been a tentative decision. It may reflect the fact that the term "Media Art" itself is a transient term.

The Art Division usually receives many entries from overseas, and this year it reached an unprecedented level, making up for 43 percent of the total. On the whole, we encountered many works in the movie, digital photograph, graphics still image, and website genres that bring the sense of déjà vu.. On the other hand, in the interactive art and installation genres, a new trend was seen in the works …
