tank.tv introduces 11 Japanese artists
Theory Of Everything
May - June 2006: Forget Albert Einstein, forget Stephen Hawking. tank.tv goes science.
Theory of Everything for tank.tv curated by Yuki Okumura with the works of the following artists: Taro Izumi, Kohei Kobayashi, Hiroaki Morita, Daisuke Nagatsuka, Daisuke Nose, Yuki Okumura, Ken Sasaki, Koki Tanaka, Mai Yamashita + Naoto Kobayashi and Naho Yokoya.
Just like physicists, the Japanese video artists introduced in this video-screening program work with the fundamental question: "what is the world?" or "what is the universe?" While physicists studies on particles that natural human eye can never grasp, in mathematics that is a purely theoretical realm, or on the begging and the ending of the universe in terms of both space and time - all based on trans-humanity and non-everyday life, the artists produce "small events" in everyday life to elicit how (the laws of) the universe is strange, mysterious and unrealistic, probably much more than any sci-fi movie.
