Profile
【Interdisciplinary Art Festival Tokyo】
From the perspective of interdisciplinary art, Far East Audio Visual Socialization (FEAVS) established the festival in 2009 in order to break the current situation in which places for presentations and audiences are fixed, discover artists who work without depending on genre, and create new audiences and values. The purpose of this festival is to create new value and connect people by creating an art festival that is more dynamic and in line with modern society, and by promoting artists who express themselves across various genres such as theater, music live, and not limited to film screenings. By welcoming and introducing experimental and radical art that cannot belong because it is beyond the framework, it is intended to expand the space for artists to present, and to provide and spread new and free perspectives and rich surprises to a wider audience. We aim to create a foundation for the birth of new art and revitalize the art scene by feeding back creation and value between the artists and viewers. This is a new festival featuring artists who create innovative expressions based on a clear concept.
