art

YCAM invites media artists from Japan and abroad to produce new pieces of art, and presents these commissioned works at its exhibition facilities. Within the realm of interdisciplinary creative work encompassing art, science and information technology, we put emphasis not only on visual art, but on sound and software art as well. YCAM's "InterLab" department generally co-produces works together with artists, and assists them with program development, research, and the design of hardware and interfaces. The results are then applied and further developed in YCAM's educational programs.

    Masterworks of media art reincarnated through joint development at YCAM

    The Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM] has launched the "LabACT" series of exhibitions showcasing from a broad point of view creative and social values generated through a dialogue between science and art. Following the currently showing "The EyeWriter", in the upcoming second installment artist Seiko Mikami is going to unveil her new installation titled "Eye-Tracking Informatics". This piece is a remake of one of Mikami's most representative works from the 1990s, in which two participants communicate and navigate within a three-dimensional virtual space through movements of their own visualized lines of sight, updated and enhanced at YCAM by reflecting the latest technological trends. This rather exquisite yet at once dynamic reincarnation in terms of imagery, sound, hardware and other aspects, presents an opportunity for visitors to enjoy a totally new form of spatial sculpting by means of eye-based communication and visualized traces of the eyes' movements
