EVOLUTION CAFE

HAPPENINGText: Tomohiro Okada

The richness within “Evolution Cafe” has a smile like this. Moreover, it makes the person on the opposite side to smile. Though there are many people who say “the digital is cold” or “in the digital world there isn’t real connection”, this space makes most of the people say “I enjoyed it!”. It is the people who think obstinately “the art should be this way” and didn’t even create the chance to experience it.

The artists in the bit generation can turn a lot of smiles into support and can build the society of smile. They also can make packages that evoke smiles thanks to their addiction to communication. If their pieces which offer to enrich various parts of daily life start to spread, the “evolution” will succeed. I may have to continue the small “revolution” up to the popularization of it.

The session of the “evolution” of smile runs through the 15th of March. As the related event, there is “Live Evolution! Kairai-Bunch Battle Performance”, a performance on March 5 with battle machines that causes a stir (the above picture). On March 12, a festival for Flash “Flash Evolution!” takes place. For any further information, please see the Web site below.
