Hamtama,  manage the project and facilitates the hearings.

Graduated from Tama Art University, majoring in oil painting.

Bannai Hidenari

Hamtama archives performances and creates works in photography and video.

He is involved with IMA, a photography platform, and collaborates with artists, aiming to create works that transcend the framework of photography.

I've never heard of the term "playing alone.

I didn't think that the term "playing alone" really existed in Japan.

In Mia's performance, playthings and devices invaded her living space to a great extent, but her playmates were not obvious. That's the question that came to mind.

The next question is about tools and devices. From my point of view, the tools are nothing but "tunnels". Going through the tunnel to enter the world of others was the original meaning.

However, in today's Japanese "smartphone is enough" life (of course, other societies have that problem too), tunnels are not necessary "exits".

Just visiting the countless tunnels takes enough energy.

As a result, we think we've played enough, but we haven't really played for a second.

kurosuzume

He has been working with various media such as artist music, video, programming, painting, performance, installation, architecture, and manga. Rather than thinking about the work from the perspective of a specific medium, he prioritizes expression and media. He is planning an integrated comprehensive art.

It is difficult to create a common code in the midst of so many different worlds. However, we are essentially different, and because we are different, we may be able to use each other's existence to fill in something that we lack. I believe that love is necessary to overcome the differences in the world.

Murakami Hiroshi

In the process of creating something, it is always in the corner of my mind how to extract "the way of culture and spirit". In every age, in every place, people have left us a variety of “plays”. They are not directly related to the biogenic needs of the organism, but they reflect the culture and the spirituality that dwells in them, as they are the things that "make us human" without being bound by time and place. I have been researching and focusing on Japanese secular culture. I do not have a central storyline for my work, but I want to create something that overlaps with the fragments of the viewer's personal memories, so that the viewer can feel the spirituality hidden in the secular culture through the visuals.
