    n_ext: New Generation of Media Artists is the new exhibition taking place at the NTT InterCommunication Center Gallery. REALTOKYO seems to have mixed feeling about the show. Now it really looks like ICC has run out of cash… One almost feels pity for the artists when looking at the unspectacular displays, but since we’re talking…

    A bit of laptopism for you (more details at the official site). From REALTOKYO: An “orchestra” concert organized by musician and university assistant professor Christophe Charles sounds like a pretty academic affair.

    As a followup to the new Spring anime TV series post I wrote the other day, here are another 2 shows I’ve had a chance to watch. GANTZ – I remember seeing a preview for a movie version of this at the beginning of MATRIX REVOLUTIONS last year, and thinking that it looked very cool.…
