<watch> DigitalFUTURES world
During Covid-19 era, Chisai watched online programs every day. She specially chooses one of them!
One of the characteristics of covid-19 era's online programs was that it clearly showed boundaries between countries and cities. Usually, University professors and art museum staff in XXX country/city talk about exhibitions held XXX country/city. But this YouTube channel “DigitalFUTURES world” is different.
DigitalFUTURES, “Talk: New Media Architectures”, May 2021
Although this YouTube is operated by Tongji University (in Shanghai, China), speakers are not only Chinese or Chinese university teachers. Literally, "all over the world" experts were speaking.
Probably it started at the same time as when I found this YouTube channel. Because it started with a basic "what is digital?" story. In the first place, art is the composition of "making" and "seeing". This YouTube channel is named "digital", it means so wide. It has been more than 20 years since everyone started to enjoy computers and the Internet. All artists and viewers in the world know/see/used artworks of VR, AR, AI, metaverse etc at the same time. There is no regional gap in the digital world anymore (but Japan, where I am, is the most behind). So?! I can't follow it! Perhaps they talk about professional topics now, hahaha.
