meeting at Cafe Independent, Kyoto

I had a meeting about an exhibition which will be held in this summer, with Otomo-san and Takamine-san. We have talked for 3.5 hours at the underground cafe. It was a fantastic time. When we go out on the street after the meeting, we saw the first snow this year.

in Taipei




I went to Taipei on the return way to research about media art in Taiwan. The media art scene in Taipei is very active. There are many sound art events here and probably a city-organized media art center will be opened next year.
Although the city of Taipei is quite different from Hong Kong, however,I like the atmosphere. I didn't forget to eat Taiwanese food. TASTY!




The Taipei National Uiversity of the Arts and Prof. Yuan.

I met media art people at the Taipei National University of the Arts, included Prof. Yuan and Yung-Ta. I had a lecture and introduced our art center's activities. I saw high-motivated students there.

I couldn't go to the Palace Museum this time too. I've visited some times, although I've never gone to there as well as the Peak in Hong Kong. I must go back to do only sight seeing.

in Hong Kong 2


I met Daan Roosegaarde at microwave festival.
I thought clearly that I must think about interactive art as performance after his presentation. I've got a piece of the thought when I was in Seoul last month. The thought made more clear face now. The works by Rafa are also in this concept. Participant can be performer in the front of this kind of the works.
