Residence Project

Tokyo Window Sessions is a web-based curatorial project investigating media art and digital culture in Tokyo. During the residency, a collection of research activities [interviews, surveys of art institutions, and essays] will be published as weekly webpages, or 'windows'. Additional content includes an online exhibition, ephemera, and interviews with U.S. artists. As an alternative archive the project preserves a unique moment in the history of media art.
