Invisible Systems
This is my third year as a juror for the Japan Media Arts Festival. In my comments the first year, I addressed the issue of medium/media,★1 and the second year I discussed old or dead media.★2 Both were topics that I have had occasion to study in my scholarly research, which has centered mainly on the visual culture of Japan's modern period. The specific subjects of my research are of a different …

Some Thoughts from My Experience as a Juror
In the course of the screening process, I frequently had to ask myself what exactly this thing called "art" is. I think this owed not just to the overwhelming volume of submissions and diversity of artistic forms, but also to how the four divisions have been delineated in this festival as well as to the sheer breadth of the term "media arts." This breadth is by no means a negative thing: The fact …
