The French Institute offers a Gallic take on digital culture in an ongoing festival of art, moving images, architecture and video games as well as digital publishing, music and performing arts. Following on last year’s inaugural event, the 2013 edition explores areas that digital technologies has disrupted, influenced or revolutionized. Among the creators making the trip to one of Japan’s five French Institutes and Alliances are Benoît Broisat, whose video Ghost Tokyo unearths a forgotten Tokyo, and arts group HP Process, who present their latest interactive installation Word City.
