EXCALIBUR
contemporary art collective
2006 Established in Tokyo, Japan. Based in Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan.
With the theme of real and virtual or its overlap called "Street, Ethernet, Field", they create art that transforms into social records, by alternating personal memories with "Myths".
Contemporary is the retro games of the future.
We are blessed with the world's affluence by electrical signals of neuron, and are creating the world. It seems to digitalize reality, that accumulate the minimum data called as elementary particles. It suggests that this world is touchable simulated game space (alternate space) with high resolution. It can be said that the virtual reality piled up by the minimum data of pixel is good at predicting unperceived and touchable reality as a paradox.
Contemporary is the retro games of the future, and this world is under development.
