The exhibition and its partners
The Kyoto edition will furthermore benefit from the support of the Kensai Franco-Japanese Institute (Kyoto, Director: Pierre Fournier) and of the Kyoto First Biennial (Kyoto Art Center, Biennial Director: Hiroshi Yoshioka).

 

Exhibits and Workshops in Kyoto
The exhibits were interactive, many of them employing the use of video. They were on the computer screen, often projected or in the form of installations using captors.
As in for the Geneva edition, the exhibits were chosen amongst those produced by graduating students and researchers at the schools and universities involved, in a research and experimental perspective. Creative and experimental workshops using video, interaction and networks unfolded in the setting of the exhibition. For the opening of PLAYABLE, a round-table on new media arts has been organised in the framework of the first edition of the Kyoto biennial, which has been inaugurated at the same time.
Meetings in Japan, permitted school and university from Paris and Geneva to create contact in the area of the art of new media, visual communication and contemporary art with Art and Design schools, the Art departments of the Kyoto and Osaka Universities, as well as the Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS), in Gifu, in the Nagoya region
