Japanan enormous exporter of hardware, yet with no discernible software; a major economic force, yet with no public support for contemporary art. Hence this project, initiated and largely planned by the Media Art Workshop and the Japan Foundation, as an attempt to rectify what up to now has been a rather poor showing by Japanese Media Art. It is set up as an out reach exhibition to promote contemporary Japanese culture through media art, a curated programme centred on video art in 7 "packages"; here shown in parts.Without exception all of Japan's "new generation "grew up on mediated foundations carpeted by every information system imaginable. As a result of this info-saturation, almost all of Japanese contemporary art and culture has been unconsciously shaped as if by formulaic mechanics: given , they did . This goes beyond copying, cliché or parody; this is a whole other vector. To try to gain information about the current state of Japan from Japanese media art would only be an exercise in self-frustration. The works are, if anything, “anti-documentary". These notes are not more than attempts to give an ambient “sense "of their media art.
