Hiroshi Masuyama,founder of the TV-Game Museum (Japan) and
exhibitor of the annual Bit Generation and The Computer Games
Museum (Berlin) are exclusively presenting the 1998 issue of
the Bit Generation in Berlin in cooperation with [kunst und technik].
Next to the USA, Japan is the largest producer of recreational soft-
and hardware. There is hardly any other country in which digital
gaming takes such an important place in general leisure planning.
It is hard to believe that we know so little about the specific
issues of Japanese gaming culture and lifestyle.
In Japanese video games culture, technical innovation is combined
with ancient tradition.
The exhibition takes visitors on a ride through Techno-Media
Metropolis Tokyo using video games as navigation instruments.
Today's Japanese game industries, urban city landscapes, architectural
scenarios and everyday Tokyo youth-culture start overlapping and
merging with imaginary environments and spaces of up-to-date video games.
Is there still a distinctive line between the two worlds?
A frame-program of discourses, film-screenings, happenings and talks
completes the show.
The increasing cultural impact of computer games is reflected by the
conception of the "Tokyo Techno Tourism" exhibition.
It is explicitly aimed at both traditional users as youngsters and
families and the variety of grown-ups whose lives and occupations are -
everyday more - affected by having to sort out reality and simulation.
In addition the exhibition will go perfectly with the recent trendy
interest in cutting-edge Japanese lifestyle.
