Watching the Earth from the Universe

“MAM Screen 004” will be held as a screening program of single-channel video works in conjunction with “The Universe and Art: Princess Kaguya, Leonardo da Vinci, teamLab.” This exhibition aims to help us get an overview of the modern human society through the universe and reexamine the Earth from more of a “cosmic” viewpoint, which could be the key to understanding the geopolitics, gender issues, as well as the meaning of the word “planet” and “alien.” This is a must-see program where the cosmologies captured by each one of the artists, with his/her own viewpoint, are vividly spread on the screen.
