The “Asia Digital Art Awards FUKUOKA,” now in its 18th year, has grown into one of the world’s leading media art competitions as a venue for advanced expression of media technology from Fukuoka. The concept of this competition is to express rich artistic expression with an Asian spirit against the backdrop of the advancement of advanced media technology. We hope to see new creative expressions that utilize artistic sensibilities based on logical thinking, and we also aim to build a network of mutual creators through media arts.
