Today, when people enjoy music and images easily with smartphones and other mobile terminals, it is possible to see the close relationship that exists between visual arts and music. Contemporary artists and musicians treat both music and video or images as equal on the same display, whose works have sense of coherence. Welcoming Ryuichi Sakamoto as the general adviser, this exhibition will present a new kind of contemporary 'synesthesia' through a variety of artistic expressions, including, paintings, sculptures and sound installations.
