  • Aportaciones Desde El Mundo Digital De Teamlab Al Panorama Del Arte Contemporáneo
    Aportaciones desde el mundo digital de teamLab al panorama del arte contemporáneo. Pilar Cabañas Moreno Universidad Complutense de Madrid Esta comunicación pretende dar a conocer la investigación realizada en torno al grupo artístico japonés conocido como teamLab, formado por artistas, diseñadores, ingenieros informáticos, técnicos, etc., que trabajan piezas de arte digital de carácter proyectivo e interactivo de gran complejidad, que nadie de un modo independiente, no colaborativo podría lograr realizar. Fue fundado en 2001 por Inoko Toshiyuki (Tokushima, 1977), el mencionado Takashi Kudo, y tres amigos más, dos ingenieros Aoki Shunsuke graduado en Ingeniería Matemática y Física de la Información, Hironori Sugiro, graduado en Tecnología y Arte, que ejerce de Desarrollador interactivo y Yoshimura Jō, amigo de la infancia de Inoko, formado en el Instituto de Tecnología de Tokio. En 2019 eran ya un equipo con 650 personas, y en crecimiento, con profesionales de distintas nacionalidades y especialidades: artistas, programadores, ingenieros, dibujantes y “animadores” por ordenador, matemáticos y arquitectos. Las palabras elegidas para el nombre, tomadas del inglés para tener una mayor facilidad en su posicionamiento a nivel internacional, pero también por el carácter de modernidad que le otorga en el entorno japonés, reflejan bien lo que son y su propósito. Un equipo, team, y Laboratory, no un Studio or a Company. Buscaban una plataforma para auto-expresarse, experimentar y crear, y lo fundaron. Según sus propias definiciones teamLab es un

  • Subculture As Social Knowledge: a Hopeful Reading of Otaku Culture
    DE GRUYTER Contemporary Japan 2016; 28(1): 33–57 Open Access Brett Hack* Subculture as social knowledge: a hopeful reading of otaku culture DOI 10.1515/cj-2016-0003 Abstract: This essay analyzes Japan’s otaku subculture using Hirokazu Miya- zaki’s (2006) definition of hope as a “reorientation of knowledge.” Erosion of postwar social systems has tended to instill a sense of hopelessness among many Japanese youth. Hopelessness manifests as two analogous kinds of refus- al: individual social withdrawal and recourse to solipsistic neonationalist ideol- ogy. Previous analyses of otaku have demonstrated its connections with these two reactions. Here, I interrogate otaku culture’s relationship to neonationalism by investigating its interaction with the xenophobic online subculture known as the netto uyoku. Characterizing both subcultures as discursive practices, I argue that the similarity between netto uyoku and otaku is not one of identity but one of method. Netto uyoku discourse serves to perform an imagined na- tionalist persona. While otaku elements can be incorporated into netto uyoku performance, other net users invoke the otaku faculty of parody to highlight the constructed nature of netto uyoku identity through ironic recontextualiza- tion. This application of otaku principles enables a description of otaku culture as a form of social knowledge, reoriented here to defuse the climate of hope- lessness purveyed by the netto uyoku. In the final section, I offer examples of subcultural knowledge being applied to national and international issues in order to indicate its further potential as a source of enabling hope for Japanese youth. Keywords: otaku, subculture, nationalism, Internet, media studies, Japanese studies, cultural studies 1 Introduction This essay investigates social orientations within Japanese subcultures accord- ing to anthropologist Hirokazu Miyazaki’s (2006: 160) definition of hope as a * Corresponding author: Brett Hack, Aichi Prefectural University, E-mail: [email protected] © 2016 Brett Hack, licensee De Gruyter.

  • Reimagining Riben Guizi: Japanese Tactical Media Performance After the 2010 Senkaku/Diaoyu Boat Collision Incident
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 344–362 1932–8036/20170005 Reimagining Riben Guizi: Japanese Tactical Media Performance After the 2010 Senkaku/Diaoyu Boat Collision Incident YASUHITO ABE1 Doshisha University, Japan This article investigates a Japanese online participatory community, the Hinomoto Oniko project, that emerged after the Senkaku/Diaoyu boat collision incident of 2010 in the East China Sea. Drawing on tactical media as a conceptual framework, this study analyzes how the project challenged the prevailing meaning of a Chinese slur against the Japanese via tactical use of visual media and examines how its cultural and aesthetic performances were reproduced in the Japanese media landscape. This facilitates analysis of the implications of its cultural and aesthetic performances in a networked era. Keywords: tactical media, moe, history, Japan, China This study examines a Japanese online participatory community that emerged in Japan after the Senkaku/Diaoyu boat collision incident of 2010 in the East China Sea: the Hinomoto Oniko project. The project remade a Chinese term into various images of that term though visual media; specifically, the Hinomoto Oniko project transformed the pronunciation of the Chinese term into a Japanese reading and substituted cartoon-like characters for the term. In doing so, the project sought to create an alternative space for communication between Japanese and Chinese people, albeit briefly. The project did not necessarily succeed in making the most of an opportunity for promoting communication between Japanese and Chinese people, but the project highlights the characteristic of tactical media performance in East Asia. The Chinese term temporarily disrupted by the Hinomoto Oniko project is 日本鬼子 (Riben Guizi), which originally meant “Japanese are devils” in Chinese.

  • Beauty Is in the Eye of the “Produser”: Japan's Virtual Idol Hatsune Miku from Software, to Network, to Stage
    BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE “PRODUSER”: JAPAN'S VIRTUAL IDOL HATSUNE MIKU FROM SOFTWARE, TO NETWORK, Intermittence + Interference POST-SCREEN: TO STAGE ANA MATILDE SOUSA ANA MATILDE SOUSA 117 INTRODUCTION The “virtual idol” dream is not new, but Hatsune Miku — a cybercelebrity origi- nating from Japan who is steadily becoming a worldwide phenomenon — con- stitutes a paradigm shift in this lineage initiated in 1958 by the novelty group of anthropomorphic squirrels Alvin and the Chipmunks. Since then many have followed, from The Archies to Gorillaz and 2.0Pac. In Japan, HoriPro’s “digital kid”, Date Kyoko, pioneered the cyber frontier with her hit single “Love Commu- nication” in 1996 (Wolff, n.d.). While in 2011, the idol supergroup AKB48 pulled an infamous publicity stunt by revealing their new girl, Aimi Eguchi, was a com- puter-generated combination of other group members (Chen, 2011). So what does Miku have that they do not? Despite her apparent similar- ity to fictional characters such as Rei Toei from William Gibson’s Idoru, Miku’s phenomenon has less to do with futuristic prospects of technological singu- larity than with present-day renegotiations of the roles of author, work and fan in Web 2.0 media cultures. By addressing her softwarennetworknstage transformations, this study draws on a rapidly growing scholarship (Hama- saki, Takeda, & Nishimura, 2008; Le, 2013; Conner, 2014; Guga, 2014; Annett, 2015; Leavitt, Knight, & Yoshiba, 2016) to investigate how Miku’s appearance on screen(s) has shaped her construction as a virtual idol through grassroots- corporate “produsage” (Bruns, 2008). MIKU, FROM THE BEGINNING With a visionary name announcing the “First Sound of Future”, Hatsune POST-SCREEN: Intermittence + Interference POST-SCREEN: Miku, created in August 2007 by Sapporo-based company Crypton Future Me- dia, is the most popular avatar of Yamaha’s cutting-edge voice synthesizer VO- CALOID.
