Berlin’s 3hd Festival and Tokyo-based EBM(T) Gallery are combining forces to work on インフラ INFRA 2017 in Tokyo, running August 19 to 26.
An ambitious festival of art, music, and thought in the digital age, the program unfolds in museums, galleries, clubs, and online.
The name インフラ INFRA is a play on the abbreviated form of ‘infrastructure,’ and breaks new ground for participants.
Program
Club of a new Generation
A late-night closing party with DJs and producers who understand fun, speed and tempo.
Inside the Outside World
The group exhibition reflects on themes around infrastructure, and aims to give a new meaning to the idea of universality with the work of seven international and interdisciplinary artists working at the intersection of contemporary art, music, and performance.
Green Music ≓ AO
Green Music gives life to an imaginary score where shades of green orchestrate a miniature land embracing artificial lakes and an abstract environment enlivened by animal voices, wind and underwater flora.
Artists
Tomoko Sauvage
Tomoko Sauvage, Japanese musician and artist, investigates the sculpturality of sound and improvisation in relation to the environment. Mainly known for a musical / visual research about ‘natural synthesizer’ of her invention, composed with diverse fluid, bowls, ceramic, light and underwater amplification, Sauvage’s approach is attached to questions of alchemy, meditation and balance between hazard and mastery. Under the form of performances, installations and musical compositions, her work is regularly presented in Europe, Asia and America.
Emamouse
Emamouse has been recognized as one of the most unique figures in Tokyo’s underground experimental music scene. Her playful sounds often combine “denpa”, a type of Japanese music that features off-key vocals, nonsensical lyrics and an over-the-top tune, and warped MIDI pop songs that recall classic Japanese video game aesthetics. Always hiding behind her signature felt mask, she emerges herself in games and virtual spaces to escape reality.
Toiret Status
Toiret Status is a musician who compares his production to excretion, and works with the theme “mizu ni nagasu”, which is a Japanese expression that literally translates to “let flow in the water”. He creates music on simple applications and tools such as GarageBand, iPhone and iPad. 2015, in a collaboration with DJWWWW, Toiret Status released “YamaGucci” on Wasabi Tapes. 2016, “◎ omaru ◎” was released from Orange Milk Records.
