The Interaction’95
Commemorating the opening of the International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS)
THE MULTIMEDIA AGE AND INTERACTIVE ART
With signs of an emerging information age culture in the air, Interaction ’95 celebrates the opening of the Gifu Prefectural International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences, an institution for the multimedia age, next spring in Ogaki.
Interaction ’95 is your opportunity to participate directly in and experience the works of interactive artists from throughout the world.
Why commemorate the opening of the Academy with an interactive art show?
The multimedia concept encompasses many definitions and interpretations. In its broadest sense, it stands for the creation of a human culture bringing together the fine arts and other cultural genres. In a narrower sense, it refers to the vast field of applications that appeal to the five senses through the use of digital electronic media, including computers, to integrate various images, sound and text. The aim of the Academy is to fuse these two interpretations and to provide the training that creators of works of high cultural value will need.
In holding this exhibition, we would like to express our sincerest thanks to the participation of the artists and the following individuals and institutions for their kind cooperation.
