Here’s an interesting bit of art technology: Japanese Art Scene Monitor reports that one of Japan’s largest printing companies is releasing a slideshow of art by Yoshitomo Nara, Takashi Homma, Kenji Yanobe, and others for viewing on iPods. The Artstar project comes on CD and includes on music track plus 175 images, from drawings to photographs. Or in some cases, meta-photographs: “[Takashi] Homma has taken photographs of his photographs, creating 167 deliberately low-fi images, perhaps in a humorous acknowledgement of the iPod’s limitations as a visual media.”
Above: works by Yoshitomo Nara. (Thanks, Lynn.)
Hello Paul ,

Hi Gerold,
You can buy the CD at through Apple Store in Japan. Unfortunately, the only links I can find are in Japanese. Good luck.
