About the Exhibition:
This Exhibition is organized as the workshop by the Department of Art Information of The University Art Museum.

"World / World" is an interactive network installation for tactile communication on a world wide scale.

Imagine a pole piercing the earth. One end emerges in 乬Gegenort - The Virtual Mine乭in Neunkirchen and the other at a public space in Tokyo. You can push and pull this pole on one side of the earth and someone on the other side may push back to you. You can also see the motion of the pole and of the audiences you communicate with on the other side of the earth. They may manipulate the pole like you or not like you. Regardless, the motion you make invites others to join in.

乬Gegenort - The Virtual Mine乭:
"Gegenort - The Virtual Mine" is a globally networked exhibition and multimedia project initiated by five media artists from the Saarland, Germany (Monika Bohr, Claudia Brieske, Leslie Huppert, Fevzi Konuk, Gertrud Riethmu"ller) at the site of the disused mine Gegenort in Neunkirchen-Wiebelskirchen, where it will take place in summer 2001 with the support of the Neunkircher Kulturgesellschaft (Neunkircher Culture Assosiation).

Organized by the Department of Art Information, The Universiyt Art Museum, Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music
