Why Bio is the Next Challenge for Media Art
I was pleasantly surprised when I was asked to join as a juror, both because I am an Artist working mainly with Art & Biology and also because I believe I am the first non-Japanese to be invited to this position.I was also very happy and very curious to be in- volved in the screening and judging process of a the Japan Media Arts Festival and see how - and for what reasons the prizes are …

They created a new point of view in a collaboration between humans and non-humans in a large stream of data. By modifying consciousness, the physical body …

Going Beyond Singularity, Again
I have been a jury in the Art Division since the 20th fes- tival, and have had a chance to observe the trends I had closely watched since the festival was founded from the inside. Talking to specialists in media art, information art, AI, and biotechnology as we selected the winners was a fascinating process. Choosing the winners from among more than 2,500 entries in the Art Division was extremely …
