The “Ho Tzu Nyen: A for Agents” exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo will display “Voice of Void” for which we were in charge of the VR system

The exhibition "Ho Tzu Nyen: A for Agent" will open at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo on April 6, 2024. In this exhibition, “Voice of Void” for which we were in charge of the VR system, will be displayed.

This latest exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, ”Ho Tzu Nyen: A for Agents”, traces the trajectory of the artist’s practice, presenting six film-based installations alongside a new work.

“Voice of Void” is a collaborative work produced in 2021 by Ho Tzu Nyen and the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM]. Consisting of VR and six-channel videos, this installation reframes conversations, speeches, and texts of the philosophers of the Kyoto School, who advocated for overcoming Western modernity and speculated on the value in establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Voice of Void invites us to navigate across different time-spaces and become immersed in discussions among members of the Kyoto School, such as on the ethics of Japanese military ventures, the question of sacrificing one’s life for the nation, or founder Kitaro Nishida’s idea of “nothingness.”

You need to sign up for the VR experience. Please check the details here.
