I’m excited to be setting up my own booth at Design Festa vol 18 this weekend. Not only will I premiere Hello Tokyo and show some other videos, but I’ll also unveil the videocrown, a multimedia artwork for people to interact with. And I will edit a new video based on footage I capture with the crown while I’m there.
I’ll be reporting this week on how things are coming along as I countdown to Saturday. Completing the video, building my costume, preparing the laptop for editing, constructing signage—there’s a lot left to do!
If you’re planning to come to see Hello Tokyo, or just to revel in the creative overload of 2000 booths of artists, designers, and performers, you can to save 200 yen if you buy tickets in advance. Only 800 yen for a one-day pass via Ticket PIA (P-code 804-202) or Lawson Ticket (L-code 33337). Entrance is free for children aged 12 and under.
For more details, including directions for getting to Big Site (Ariake near Odaiba), check the Design Festa vol 18 website.
Posted by kuri at November 10, 2003 01:13 PMHave fun with your planning. Wish I could be there to see it - particulary “Videocrown.” Is it anything like Nightcrown? ;-)
We’ll both be busy! I’m working on the book launch this week.
