The Spell of “Media Art”
This is the third year that I have served on the jury for the Art Division of the Japan Media Arts Festival. I was left with a particularly strong impression that was different from previous years.

The problem had nothing to do with the musicians' command of the equipment. Rather, it was due to the simple fact that they …

Looking Back at the Judging Process
This was the first time I had ever served as a judge. Continually asking myself what media art is, this proved to be a much more difficult job than I had imagined. In my own work as a painter, I use moving images to develop paintings in time. In that sense, my work considers the nature of media. Just as the speed, sites, and subjects of paintings changed as oil paints in tubes and acrylic paints …
