An Evening with Takuji Kogo 27.02. MoMA

Takuji Kogo (Japanese, b. 1965), founder of “candy factory,” an alternative Yokohama gallery that operated from 1998 to 2000, exploits the Internet to explore the meanings of globalization, especially through sites left deserted when the economy of multinational companies fails. He playfully interlaces photography, animation, and sampled music, and he invites the participation of Web denizens. An Evening with Takuji Kogo is part of “out of the internet,” an international festival featuring cultural content emerging from the Asia Pacific regions. The project is realized through MAAP—Multimedia Art Asia Pacific. Program approx. 90 min.
