In The Cross-Ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program infrastructure in a multi-faceted matter, systems that apply GIS to accident such as that which occurred at the Sasago Tunnel in addition, a team has been assembled based on local (SIP) managed by the Council for Science, Technology and support the collection and analysis of infrastructure inspection 2012, and the increasing cost of maintenance. With the universities that links the problems in infrastructure Innovation (CSTI) has been established to realize scientific and data, robots that support or replace all or part of the inspection continuation of the stringent financial situation and the maintenance with local characteristics, to construct an asset technological innovations. As a cross-ministerial and cross-field and monitoring work, support for diagnosis of infrastructure using reduction in experienced engineers, it is essential to establish management system taking into consideration these local program, SIP is running forward with a focus ranging from basic AI technology, ultra high durability concrete, etc. The technologies and infrastructure management system utilizing new characteristics. In addition, initiatives are being implemented to research to commercialization/industrialization. One of its tasks is developed in this project have superb performance, and we can technology in order to prevent accidents and minimize lifecycle verify new technologies, prepare guidelines, provide support "Technology for infrastructure maintenance, renovation, and recommend them with confidence. costs through preventative maintenance. In addition, the latest for construction of infrastructure and databases (spread to all management" (hereafter referred to as "SIP Infrastructure"). The value of Japan's infrastructure stock is estimated to be information technologies such as IoT, AI, and analysis of big Japan based on local characteristics), provide training to Infrastructure such as roads, railways, harbors, airports, and over 800 trillion yen. Infrastructure should function for several data, create a new business opportunity in infrastructure introduce new technologies to the whole country, to various disaster prevention facilities support our everyday life and decades. Passing on to the next generation infrastructure that maintenance, with the potential for the business to be disseminate these technologies overseas in cooperation with social and economic activities. Many of them, however, were built can be used with confidence is our contribution to the future. We expanded to various foreign countries, in particular the various the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and during the high economic growth period. As they get older, the believe that the widespread use of the results of "SIP countries in Asia. By accurately exploring the infrastructure support is being provided to establish these technologies in increase in maintenance and repair expenditure along with the Infrastructure" should contribute to the establishment of a maintenance needs on-site and the seeds of research and local areas. The final task before this program terminates in possibility of a serious accident occurring during service have sustainable, safe, and secure society. development, technologies that can be continuously used on March 2019 will be to connect these various new movements in become serious social issues. This program aims at preventing site have been developed, and the appropriateness and infrastructure maintenance produced in "SIP Infrastructure" to accidents and reducing the burden of maintenance by effectiveness of the maintenance cycle has been increased. the next generation, so that investment will continue into the constructing systematic infrastructure management that utilizes Also the accuracy of preventative maintenance has been future. the world's most advanced information and robotics technologies. significantly increased based on technologies to predict the Unlike mass-produced products, such as vehicles and laptop computers, infrastructure consists of single products that are designed, constructed, and manufactured individually. The initial conditions of infrastructure vary depending on the time and Cabinet Office PD condition they were built. As a result, in addition to the difference in deterioration actions under service, the rate of infrastructure (Yozo Fujino) deterioration also varies.

  • Christina Ulowetz Visual Essay Japanese Modernism Across Media
    Christina Ulowetz Visual Essay Japanese Modernism across Media (EALC 335) Professor Schoneveld 15 May, 2015 More Real than Reality: How the Human Body Functions in Japanese Surreal Art The human body is frequently the subject of visual art and the basis of metaphor in written; such a universal and relatable symbol functions understandably well across all eras and genres of art. A fundamental part of the human experience, the body, as well as its functions and capabilities, establish a common ground between artist and viewer. Japanese surreal art saw a novel change, however, in the treatment of the body in visual art. The groundbreaking art movement paid no heed to the limits of reality and depicted the body in a variety of shocking, unnatural situations and positions. Surrealism saw the human body combined with other bodies in bizarre ways, appearing in impossible contexts, and even incorporated into inorganic matter like machinery. The manipulation of the body fit aesthetically into surrealism’s strange and unsettling atmosphere. Yet the deliberately unsettling choices function well to communicate complex themes. By perverting and changing the body in recognizable ways, surreal artists explored the changing perspective of the Japanese people both on an individual and national level. Japanese surrealism reflects a long history of disparate influences, culminating in a unique artistic experience. In fact, the very linguistic origin of Japanese surrealism reveals a unique and significant approach to the international avant-garde movement. The English word "surrealism" comes from the Latin roots meaning "below reality", as if the idea were something primitive or basic. But the Japanese word for surrealism, "chou-genjitsushugi", uses an emphatic prefix meaning "ultra" or "super".

  • TETSUYA ISHIDA Artiste Japonais
    www.creationcontemporaine-asie.com TETSUYA ISHIDA Artiste japonais Tetsuya Ishida, untitled, 1998, acrylic on wood panel TETSUYA ISHIDA est un artiste peintre surréaliste japonais. Il est mort prématurément en 2005, à l'âge de 31 ans. Avec des ventes cumulées de 1.037.213 $, il se situait au 169ème rang du classement Artprice 2017- 2018 (produits des ventes) du marché de l'art dans le monde. Une peinture de l’artiste "Earthquake / Terremoto” s’est vendue en Avril 2014 chez Christie’s pour près de 350 000 $, soit 10 fois le prix estimé, preuve de sa popularité constante. Son oeuvre 'Prisoner' a été vendue au 'United Asian Auctioneer Evening Sale' en 2012 pour près de 820 000 $. https://www.tetsuyaishida.jp/71843/ L'ARTISTE Tetsuya Ishida est né à Yaizu, Shizuoka, Japon, en 1973. Il a étudié le design et l'illustration à la Musashino Art University of Shizuoka Prefecture. Il est mort dans un accident de train, en 2005, à l'âge de 31 ans. SON OEUVRE Tetsuya Ishida explore le coté noir de la vie moderne, la déshumanisation d’une société au profit de la mécanisation. Il peint des personnages humanoïdes dans des environnements surréalistes, réfléchissant sur l’incertitude et le mal être. Il est parti d’un portrait de lui-même qui utilisait l’humour absurde pour parler de ses émotions. « J’ai essayé de faire de moi-même, de ma faiblesse, de mon triste état, de mon anxiété, une plaisanterie ou quelque chose de drôle dont on peut se moquer », déclarait l’artiste. Dans « Waiting for a Chance » (1999) par exemple, Ishida peint une chambre d’hôpital dans laquelle les personnages présentent des visages mélancoliques et inquiets.

  • Tetsuya Ishida. Self-Portrait of Other
    Tetsuya Ishida. Self-Portrait of Other DATES: April 11 - September 8, 2019 PLACE: Palacio de Velázquez ORGANIZATIONN: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía CURATORSHIP: Teresa Velázquez COORDINATION: Suset Sánchez TOURING: Wrightwood 659, Chicago, USA. (October 3 –December 14, 2019) Tetsuya Ishida: Self-Portrait of Other is the first retrospective exhibition of the work of Tetsuya Ishida (Yaizu, Shizuoka, 1973–Tokyo, 2005) to be held out of Japan. It brings together a significant selection of around 70 paintings and drawings, from 1996, the year he finished his degree in fine art at Musashino University, Tokyo, to 2004, shortly before his sudden death. His paintings, drawings, and notebooks are an extraordinary testimony to the malaise and alienation of contemporary subjects in advanced capitalism. A cult artist in his own country, where his imaginary world has become a reference for younger generations, his sharply critical work was presented in Europe at the 56 Venice Biennale in 2015. Ishida’s skeptical, nihilistic realism bears witness to today’s normalization of precarity and consumption in every sphere of life. The characters in his works are hybrid, anthropomorphic machines who embody a state of total technological domination and limitless subordination to a new, inescapable form of slavery that makes no distinction between work and consumption and heightens the anxiety of our bodies and subjectivities. Ishida’s bitter social satire cuts away at the Japanese postwar financial miracle, stripping it of any idealistic consideration. Although the 1973 petrol crisis briefly affected scientific, industrial, and technological growth in Japan, the country’s developmental trend was boosted in the 1980s at the height of real estate speculation, which led to the bursting in 1991 of the financial bubble and the deep depression that followed.

  • Bristling at Windows: Subversion Through Heterodox Mythology
    Bristling at windows: Subversion through heterodox mythology Master’s Thesis Jillian Toshie Suyono Tromsø Academy of Arts, 2020 The kitchen sink is leaving There appeared at one point to be a clear relationship between objects and their titles, but these designated categories, not objects. A wall was a wall, but having spent time looking at it, it drifted uncanny. There was no longer “a” recognisable “wall”, and soon there would be no “w a l l”. In the study of language, the relationship between writing and sound is taken to be arbitrary. No inherent relationship can necessarily be established between the spoken form of this name, or any part of this form, and the object it is identified with. The structures and contents of these names seem as though they are constrained only by the biology of their speakers, so what would a name be outside of any human brain or brain-like apparatus? The sound of…1 emerged from this stream of consciousness. Where my works had up to this point emphasised the visual disintegration of figures, it now turned to the disintegration of abstract representations; the dissolution of lexical objects, categories, meta-things. The segments comprising the names of the objects that surrounded me were free to go where they pleased, and I obliged them in having their new names read aloud. Some attention had to be paid to the enunciation of these names, so that they would appear as if they were perfectly ordinary. Anything less would be an insult. While this piece was initially satisfactory, it was clear that the concept behind it had not been fully explored.
