Ceaselessly the river flows, and yet the water is never the same, while in the still pools the shifting foam gathers and is gone, never staying for a moment…
—— Chomei Kamono “Hojoki(An Account of My Hut)” (1212)
![Page 4: "Critical perspectives:Japanese Media Art Production"-Yukiko Shikata](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54b3e8814a7959097a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Japanese took the foreign thought, technologies and systems and modified them to be fit into the things purely Japanese-like. Japanese history proves the words of Aristotle that all true creation starts from mimesis.
—— Octavio Paz, “Tiempo Nublado” (1983)

Ryuichi Sakamoto + Shiro Takatani “LIFE - fluid, invisible, inaudible …”(2007)Images from projectors attached above the “screen” with water and fogs shines down, connecting the imagery while ceaselessly melting, floating endlessly. The combination of images, the sounds are randomly chosen and never the same.

Norimichi Hirakawa “DriftNet” (2007)Big waves surge in a screen-filling computer-generated ocean. When you move, as if crawling through the waves of information generated from the data, you see a link emerging between the waves.

Ryoji Ikeda “data.tron” (2008)
Space consisted of huge amount of mathematical data, or abstract
images. And white noice. Extreme, Immersive, sublime direction.

Keiko Kimoto “Ambiguous Green” (2008)
*This room, shown at ICC, consisted of two rooms; the existing project "Imaginary Numbers" in the first room, and output generated in real-time in the back room.

Keiko Kimoto “Imaginary Numbers” (2002)These beautiful and delicate images, evocative of natural phenomenon such as spirals and whorls, are created using simple mathematical formulae.

Keiko KimotoExperiments of running “Coupled Oscillators” or “Reaction Diffusion System” (ICC, 08- 09)
In a back room, 400x400 oscillators were connected and run 10 months for the real-time process of creation. Visitors could observe them slowly changing as though aliving form. They gained a complexity that was unpredictable from any of its components.

Two vectors in Media Art
1. Showing the Japanese tendencies by using technology: Design, Play, Entertainment-oriented. Narrative, representative.ex. Toshio Iwai, Maywa Denki, Kazuhiko Hachiya, Ryota Kuwakubo
2. Taking meta- and critical-approach, asking the role of media, art & technology, the way of perception: Abstruct, process-based.
ex. Masaki Fujihata, Dumb Type, Seiko Mikami, dNA, Keiko Kimoto
