summary/ mission statement

2008-01-01T10:44:45Z

Our ancestors have developed various manipulations, inventions and forms of expression, from body language to word and letter, to communicate with others. The invention of letterpress printing in the 15th century made it possible for information to be disseminated more quickly and broadly. Thus now, since the birth of telecommunication technology such as telephone and television, we receive vast amounts of information in its real time. These days, it is possible on an individual level to record, edit and transmit information by using video/audio devices, computers, the Internet and so forth. However, the one-way transmission controlled by the media for the sake of market expansion is what we are predominantly surrounded by in our modern lives. Is this kind of so-called mass media trend narrowing the function of the "media", which is the primal communication tool of humans? In the relationship between the individual and media, one can see the diverse and flexible states that are not bound by purpose. Within these states, there may be information with an artistry or universalism that remains eternal. Our organization pays great heed to "the representation addressed by the individual", a technique which utilizes video or sound and which has shown a dramatic development in recent years. Since these representations do not convey tangible messages or stories, they are often not accepted by already existing media such as T.V., movie, theatre and so on. Consequently, there are in a difficult situation to succeed in business. Yet, this should not mean there is no value for "the representation addressed by the individual". We consider whether these representations will attain social value and whether individuals will rediscover their ability to freely communicate. Thus, our organization provides activities that act as a conduit for the organic flow of research, experiment, development and practice by exploring and reviewing issues presented via media.

I create "a warehouse of memories" recorded in various media using 10 video projectors, FM radio waves and daily objects. Visitors can take a part of memories to home. Please bring a portable FM radio you have (if you have). - Old photographs sometimes impress us when seeing them - It could do because you find the common thing with those photographs. This project is composed of installation works about The Miyamoto Family and their stories. I interweave my film, photographs and sound are interwoven with the home movies and the family albums recorded by my late grandfather Toshikazu into a work of art. In those records, both of us capture the people close to ourselves and landscapes around our house. That is to say, the memories of the family are recorded. _ For instance, face. voice, and body of the self, lifestyle, memories in childhood. expectation to the future _ you might realize something taken for granted, but something important through our work. Dates: Friday, 6th to Saturday 14th July 2007 15:00-21:00 Admission free ]]> MIYAMOTO HIROSHI Born on 14 January 1978. He was working as a cinema projectionist, and as an assistant of the film director Atsuhito Yamashita when he went to film school. After graduating, he had been an adult video director.
