5th Anniversary Program

Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media YCAM, Yamaguchi

The varied program of events held throughout 2008 to commemorate this occasion includes artist residencies aiming to develop new works in the realms of art and theater, as well as several special exhibitions, workshops with citizens of Yamaguchi, and symposia. "Minimum Interface" is a show focusing on new possibilities of the interface as a basic component of information culture. The aim is to convey a new sensation of "fun of being connected through media" by introducing an optical, acoustic and tactile interface conceived with an art/design sort of mindset to appeal directly to physical sensation, rather than relying on ready-made design tools.


comunicato stampa

Opened in November 2003 as a hub for information and culture, the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM) celebrates its 5th anniversary this year. The varied program of events held throughout 2008 to commemorate this occasion includes artist residencies aiming to develop new works in the realms of art and theater, as well as several special exhibitions, workshops with citizens of Yamaguchi, and symposia. By stepping out of the institution and into such places as the nearby Yuda Onsen (Yuda Hot Spring) and the city's central shopping district for cultural collaborations with various people of Yamaguchi, we hope to cut out a new path for YCAM to pursue in the future.


Minimum Interface

Date:November 1st (Sat) – February 8th (Sun)
Venue: YCAM
Exhibits: Daan Roosegaarde -new work- (Holland), SHINCHIKA -new work- (Japan), Chris Sugrue "delicate boundaries" (USA), Shunsuke Takawo -new work- (Japan), Sergi Jordà, Martin Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger, Marcos Alonso (Music Technology Group, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) "reacTable" (Spain) Akihiro Kubota -new work- (Japan), Zachary Lieberman -new work- (USA)

This exhibition focuses on new possibilities of the "interface" as a basic component of information culture. The aim is to convey a new sensation of "fun of being connected through media" by introducing an optical, acoustic and tactile interface conceived with an art/design sort of mindset to appeal directly to physical sensation, rather than relying on ready-made design tools. The experience of their works will be for the visitor an opportunity to learn about the creative and imaginative powers behind media technology, and realize the importance and the possibilities of interfaces.
