Otherwise Gallery (アザワイズギャラリー), an art gallery operated by Ash P France Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenichiro Tokashiki) located along Omotesando's Antique Street, will host a solo exhibition by media artist Yusuke Shigeta titled 'Continuous and Discontinuous of Migiwa' from Friday, June 19, 2026, to Saturday, July 25, 2026.
Centered on Shigeta’s ongoing inquiry into 'how material temporality can be赋予 to digital expression,' the exhibition will present a series of new works exploring the intersection of matter and information, image and symbol, time and computation.
The Boundary Between a Continuous World and Discontinuous Information
Yusuke Shigeta is a media artist who has explored the relationship between digital technology and perception by focusing on the principles of moving images and animation. Recognizing the pixel—the smallest unit of digital media—as a junction connecting the virtual and physical worlds, Shigeta has created installation works that allow viewers to experience moving images spatially and bodily. Inspired by early animation devices such as the phenakistoscope and zoetrope, he has re-conceptualized moving images not merely as screen-based events, but as phenomena experienced through the body. In recent years, his focus has turned to the relationship between images recorded and generated by digital technology and the world we actually perceive.
The world we live in is inherently continuous. However, as this world is processed into information, it becomes fragmented and symbolized. Shigeta has consistently focused on the boundaries and fluctuations that arise between this 'continuous reality' and 'discontinuous information.'
What Can Be Seen from the Boundary Called 'Migiwa'
The term 'migiwa' (汀), used in the exhibition title, refers to the boundary where water meets land. Yet this boundary is not fixed—it constantly changes shape with the ebb and flow of waves. Shigeta interprets this 'migiwa' as the meeting point between continuous reality and discontinuous information. While digital technology fragments the world, these fragments generate new connections and contingencies. Through the fluctuations and reciprocal movements created when image, matter, time, and information intersect, this exhibition questions how we perceive and understand the world.

Comment from Media Artist Yusuke Shigeta
Media Artist Yusuke Shigeta
The world is felt as endlessly continuous. Continuity contains infinite intermediaries and boundless richness. Meanwhile, information appears as discontinuous fragments. These fragments are manageable, allowing various manipulations and exchanges, often triggering unexpected connections and contingencies. My interest lies at the point where matter and information, image and symbol, time and computation, trace and record intersect and blend. We exist as a back-and-forth movement across a bridge of discontinuity spanning the land of continuity. (Yusuke Shigeta)
