About the productJapanese

Technology that becomes one with the self

On this planet where matter and information have become blurred, digital has become flesh and blood, evoking a desire for transformation.

This book is a parallel collection of the exhibition "DXP (Digital Transformation Planet) - Towards the Next Interface," organized by the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and serves as a map for walking around this planet.

The introductory chapter features a statement by Hasegawa Yuko, director of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, which serves as a starting point for consuming digital technology as nourishment, while the following chapter features texts by sociologist Endo Kaoru and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist that serve as a compass for exploring this new reality.

The next main chapter explores the current state of humans as one with digital through five interdisciplinary approaches.
Experts with a variety of backgrounds have written the "theory," while the curators involved in planning this exhibition have written the "practice" through dialogue with the artists, from their own unique perspectives, freely referencing works that cannot be seen at the venue.
More than just a catalogue of an exhibition, this book, with its unique structure, introduces art and design practices and explores the changes in humanity brought about by digital technology.
