Profile
[TodaysArt JAPAN/AACTOKYO (Advanced Art Conference Tokyo)]
The producer unit defines not only art that uses cutting-edge technology, but also various forms of expression such as art, music, technology, dance, architecture, and others that take up the cutting-edge of the times and society as themes as "cutting-edge art." It is engaged in urban art projects that gather from the world to Tokyo and appeal from Tokyo to the world. In contrast to the art festivals and music festivals that have flourished in recent years, we aim to build a platform that proposes contemporary Japanese culture, which has not been discussed in the context of art, as an extension of "club culture" in the broad sense. We will create a place where a wide variety of "people," "information," and "culture" meet in an open environment, and where new cultural branches and real communities are born, induced by chemical changes.
