1st artdemo all cover report
From Tokyo.JP : July 15th, 2002 updated
>> The media art in Tokyo is suffering this misfortune. Many people say, "Media art is boring and annoying." and the opinion is being fixed.

It's a robot performance never seen in Japan by the legendary group called Survival Research Laboratories (SRL). GO TO STORY click
