This exhibition introduces 8 Japanese artists who participated in Exchange Residency Program to stay and work in the cities abroad for 1-3 months. Each artist went through various experiences in the different culture and communities that deepen his/her artistic career with fruitful outcomes. Their achievements throughout their activities will be presented in the form of installation works and documentation.
While the cityscapes in which we go about our lives don't seem to change all that much, the cyberspace-"scape" is changing at an increasingly rapid pace. Security cameras installed throughout the city and its structures, electronic money including public transport IC cards, vending machines, SNS such as Facebook and Twitter, LINE, e-mail, biometric identification systems... Everyone's actions and physical information are being stored as big data and utilized by the people obtaining this information.
The countless sensors that surround us automatically "censor" our actions, in some cases creating "scapegoats." Surely there's a need to perceive this rapidly changing invisible landscape in an accurate way and take an objective, panoramic view of the concepts and principles of individual action. The creators showcased in this exhibition have all completed overseas residencies. Through these experiences, they have taken sensitive measure of the moods that drift through contemporary society, and each will present their results in their own unique way. Their works will show, through richly allusive messages, that existing perceptions and values are not always true, and that believing can be perilous.
