Multidisciplinary artist NSDOS, who is also called "the hacker of techno", will return to Japan for the first time since his groundbreaking performance at the Digital Choc x MUTEK.JP event in 2019. His performance at Shibuya O-EAST on Saturday, December 10, explores a radical new synthesis of dance and technology, exploring machinic hacking, motion sensing, and creative coding. Montreal-based visual artist BunBun brings their unique style of brightly saturated and beat-synced holographic textures for a one-off collaboration with electronic musician Kopy to Play 2 at Shibuya Stream Hall on Friday, December 9. On the same day, famed visual artist YOSHIROTTEN will debut his first ever audiovisual performance in collaboration with band mate TAKAKAHN from the project YATT, and video support by Baku Hashimoto from INS Studio.

Yet again, the MUTEK.JP open call for young creators yielded two exceptional performance proposals, which will premiere at this year's festival. Proposed by digital artist Luna Woelle, fashion designer and writer Risako Nakamura, and Leipzig-based musician tibslc, "Robots of Love" is a conceptual work that combines music, dance, 3DCG animation and AR. Member's of Nao Tokui's Computational Creativity Lab at Keio University, the duo consisting of musician Reo Anzai and visual artist Santa Naruse will present the audiovisual performance "Afflatus Spectrum", a collaboration between AI and humans.
