―KISEKI ART 2022
“KISAKI ART” is a project based on the idea that the data that creators and animators leave as part of their creative work has comparable value to the art piece itself, and is also a type of asset belonging to each artist. The panel presented and discussed research results, highlighting the technology behind capturing the creative process, including the movement of pens and brushes used.
