Art in Country of Tokyo 2024 (AICOT 2024)
アートインカントリーオブトウキョウ2024 (アイコット2024)
This exhibition is an examination of the present as a past event by assuming that we who live today are people of the future, viewing artworks installed underwater as ruins, and VR and AR as centuries-old technologies.
The exhibition will be held by the co-organizers and this organization in five countries: France, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Belgium.
An archaeological site is a place that retains traces of the past.
The theme of the festival is to contemplate environmental issues and problems facing humanity, starting from the question of how much imagination we, who live in the future after that time, can use to see the present as the past.

About
The word "country" originates from the Latin phrase "contrata terra," (meaning "the land lying opposite") and it is a word that represents both of nation and a region (or rural area). It depicts the diversity of Tokyo as both the capital city of Japan and a region concentrated with nature symbolic of Japan - its mountains, fields, and ocean.
