NEW MEDIA NEW FACE 01

Date : 1999.3.26(fri) - 4.11(sun) [Finished]
Venue : NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC] Gallery D

Organizer : NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC]

In recent years, we see young artists who independently search for expression with various kinds of media and exhibit their works in one-artist shows or group exhibits at art galleries. We now see more and more works which, while they may lack in technical advancement or may not be sufficiently refined, attempt to develop a variety of fresh and highly interesting ideas about the media. Here we often discover desirable works which might perhaps be called 志des, whose creators will only later reach perfection, or preliminary sketches in the media arts, rather than being highly perfected works of art.

Such exhibits often end without fanfare and are forgotten without the works of art ever being especially noticed. We would like to bring together works which show germinal ideas done with an awareness of the new media and, even if only for a short time, make it possible to exhibit them anew.

Surely it is important to give attention not only to large-scale projects which make use of the best of the technology, but to focus also on "smaller-scale" media art, which uses everyday familiar media in the search for individual expression.
