■ Event Outline
In recent years, art expression using technology has expanded into a domain that designs the entire "experience" rather than just the artwork itself, by combining video, sound, and spatial production. Even in different genres of expression such as installations, interactive art, performances, and museum exhibitions, how to create an experience for the audience has become crucial.
In this lecture, Mr. Matsuyama will explain how art experiences utilizing technology are conceived, designed, and developed, while introducing various case studies he has created.
