Since 1997, the Japan Media Arts Festival has been honoring outstanding achievement in a broad spectrum of genres including animation, comics, media art and games. In 2013, more than 3,500 works from 70 countries were submitted for prize consideration.
A selection of prizewinning works from the 16th Japan Media Arts Festival shows how Japanese media artists deal with remembering and the origin of memories.

A New Platform for New Memories

The horrendous 2011 earthquake left deep scars in Japan’s collective memory. And trauma is a form of remembering. As this exhibition shows, artists have been endeavoring to come to terms with this trauma—and presumably will continue to do so for years to come.
Dolls are an established part of Japanese culture and tradition. They’re often said to have greater expressive capabilities than human beings.

With works by Google Maps 8-bit team (JP), IDPW (JP), Daito Manabe & Mikiko & Yasutaka Nakata & Satoshi Horii & Hiroyasu Kimura (JP), Nukeme (JP), Yuki Sano (JP), rrrrrrrroll (JP), Sol Chord (Shinjiro Maeda, Rina Okazawa / JP).
