Book Overview (Excerpt from the Original Text; Machine Translation from Japanese)
Today, artworks produced by four organizations—teamLab, Takram, Rhizomatiks, and THE EUGENE—are attracting significant attention around the world.
These new-generation organizations combine ideas distinctive to Japan with cutting-edge technology, bringing new values into public view. Why do they operate as organizations rather than as individuals? What are the sources of their creative thinking and advanced technical capabilities? And how do they challenge established conventions through their distinctive organizational structures, policies, and systems of evaluation?
Through representative works and projects, and from perspectives encompassing art history and business administration, this is the first book to explore the sources of strength behind these “cutting-edge art-and-technology organizations.”
