This is a rare group exhibition of contemporary art by young artists at this venue. The exhibition features 31 works, including paintings, videos, and imaginary "historical photographs" created by incorporating historical materials into Artificial Intelligence (AI). Artist Riku Shitara (41) creates works by processing and coloring images of famous paintings like the "Mona Lisa" within a Virtual Reality (VR) space. Video artist Yobihino (27) presents a video piece juxtaposing the post-war urban development of Nagoya with her own life history.

A panel discussion involving some of the artists and a professor is scheduled for the final day.
