This event, which will be the 4th this year, is a festival of digital art from Japan, introducing both international and domestic digital art works, seeking and supporting young artists, offering exchange opportunities between artists and agencies. Admission free. Also, reforming the stereotypical image of "artworks to be seen at a museum", they focus more on the concept of letting people enjoy digital art by "Seeing", "Hearing" and "Touching".
