The "ARTSAT: Art and Satellite Project" utilizes a satellite orbiting the earth as a "medium that connects everyday life to the universe." In the course of the project, a variety of interactive works of media art and other artworks will be created. The project is carried out in a collaborative effort around a core team of over 70 members from Tama Art University and the University of Tokyo. The latter's team developed a specialized "art satellite" for artistic purposes, while the team from Tama Art University is in charge of producing works based on data from the satellite, operating a ground station, and distributing data.
