Media Select Programme / General Event

October 25-30, 2002, Oasis21: Sakae Park

“alternative moments” is a media art exhibition at a popular open-air public space in the city. Works with moving images, music, sound and light took turns in various ways. Haruo Ishii had an installation work which allowed public participation by experiencing the moment of the undergoing changes from twilight to night with the lights and the sound from the speakers.
Tamami Hitsuda and Toshinao Yoshioka created an open-air theater and put a series of video works on the screen. Akitsugu Maebayashi’s portable [auditory organ] was a unique one where you can experience the manipulated sound environment of your surroundings. “the-phone-book Limited” had a project that transmitted moving images with mobile phones and they could be experienced on the site.
Those works got people coming and going and got them involved with and in the open atmosphere showing them the upcoming way of media art should be while they felt the autumn air and the passage of time.
