education

YCAM intends to offer support to visitors (users) unfamiliar but interested in new, media technology-based forms of expression, for a better understanding and appreciation of these kinds of artworks. It is our goal to develop and implement innovative educational programs with a focus on the relationships between media and such keywords as "expression", "corporeity", "communication", "society", and others.

    Workshop

    meet the artist 2010 "Create your own media"

    Lecturer: Hikaru Fujii
    Date/Time :
    April, 2010-March, 2011(1year)

    Yearlong workshop to set up a visual-based civic network in Yamaguchi

    In the "meet the artist" workshop series, co-called "collaborators" - artists and citizens selected from applications from the general public - work together on the realization of one specific project for the period of one year. Through such long-term collaboration, participants and artists share a creative process, and together formulate profound concepts that emerge from the various ideas and backgrounds involved in the course of their collective work. Instructor for this year's fifth installment is Hikaru Fujii, an artist who has been confronting people's thoughts on social discrepancies and political issues through the medium of film. "Filmic expression" will at once be the central theme that participants in this workshop are going to approach by the methods of documentary. The popularization of personal computers, digital cameras, cell phones and other electronic devices has made video a familiar and casually usable tool for us today. Both citizens and artists will take advantage of this long-term workshop project, to explore the possibilities in the realm of film that these conditions have made accessible.

    * Initial project members are recruited between April 1st and May 1st, however applications for later participation will still be accepted after this period.
