The MOT Annual is a series of group exhibitions that began in 1999, highlighting diverse aspects of contemporary art to elicit inquiry and discussion. The 19th edition of this exhibition will examine the relationship between the theme of “creation” through the imagination and handiwork of artists, and the “generation” that automatically comes into being, in a kind of reflection on the state of NFTs, artificial intelligence, artificial life, and life science, which have been a talking point in society in recent years.
Media art and the domain of media arts, which started gaining widespread recognition among the general public around the 1990s, continue to expand and are currently in a transitional stage of reappraisal and historicization through restoration and archiving. In addition, among the works that come together at international exhibitions and competitions, many works that remind us of big data, AI, machine learning, A-Life, and group intelligence can be seen. While some works are realized through delicate handiwork, the notion of contemporary information processing is also at the root of these works.
This exhibition presents approximately 50 works and materials by 11 artists, focusing on their diverse attempts to capture our imagination more than ever before by looking at both creation and generation and externalizing their ideas through a formative vocabulary while using technology.
With the spread of programming education since 2020, platforms for artistic expression continue to transform for the next generation. At this exhibition, we will develop projects and events that are not limited to real, actual exhibitions, but also consider the metaverse and spatial archives that will expand digitally. We hope that this exhibition will provide an opportunity to rethink the notions of creation and generation, and analog and digital, which have tended to be viewed as opposites and to look beyond them toward the kinds of synergies that can be created between the two, thereby questioning the breadth and extent of our perception.
