This event has ended.

Media: Graphics, Architecture, Installation, Product, Fashion
"Tokyo Fiber" is an exhibition of Japan fibers that evoke fashion breakthroughs. Fiber technology more closely attuned to human sensibilities creates a new environment, for both people and apparel. The theme of this first exhibition is "senseware". The use of "ware" instead of "wear" is deliberate, suggesting new forms of interactions between cloth, and clothing and perceptions of the body. Showcasing a future of intelligent fibers, this exhibition demonstrates the total creative power of Japan through the works of architects and designers and companies like Sony and Honda.

Design Events in April, REVIEW
4月はクオリティの高いデザインイベントが多かった。なかでもクリエイションギャラリーG8の「生命のうた 永井一正版画展」、今年は丸ビルに場所を移して開催された「竹尾ペーパーショウ」、そして青山スパイラルで行われた日本の科学、クリエイション、テクノロジー、感覚を横断する新しい試みの展覧会「TOKYO FIBER SENSEWARE」はそれぞれ「デザイン」という想像的な翻訳を通して発表される、今の「日本」をみる知的な展覧会だった。
Pretty cool installations. 15 in total, detailed with English captions next to the works and in the free brochure.
I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them made it to the next Japan Media Arts Festival.
