ACCESS

Ever since the “World Design Exposition” was held in 1989 in Nagoya, a continuous flow of media design and media art has developed with “ARTEC,” “artport,” and “MEDIASELECT.” The relay talk “pouring/poured” focuses on the flow and history of the media art.

“pouring/poured” originated in the stage production “The Other Side” presented in 2019 by streaming heritage director Fushiki Kei. In this work, in which the conflict between life and death and being and nothingness is reconstructed through a complex process, two dancers come on stage and pour water from one cup into another cup below it, thus producing the term, “pouring/poured.” It undoubtedly is a theme related to passing down of the culture via the waters of the Horikawa River, and this relay talk was held under the symbolic title “pouring/poured.”
