Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media,
7-7 Nakazono-cho, Yamaguchi

01 November 2008 – 08 February 2009
Themed "the future of the interface," this exhibition was chosen to reflect the particular cultural diverseness of today’s information society.
On display are a variety of works from the fields of film, photography, animation, sound, architectural sculpture, product design and others, selected based on the principles of "art + physical expression" as an original discipline pioneered by the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM).
A total of eight artists/units from Japan, America, Netherlands, and Spain present their newest pieces of art and design – including commissioned works – at several points across the venue.
The title “Minimum Interface” reflects a pursuit of possible interfaces that avoid language to enable user interaction through intuitive physical sensation and perception, as opposed to interaction based on verbal information and guidance provided to the user/viewer.
User interaction that is created this way stimulates our interest in the information systems and processes that have produced these artworks, while at once suggesting the potentials of interfaces in the definition of a new relationship between information and art.
Considering that interfaces did not exist in artistic expression prior to the emergence of advanced information technology, as the first essential (minimum) component of media art and information design, this exhibition aims to be a point of departure for a search for new temporal and spatial possibilities opened up by way of informative art.
