I?ll send out an invitation for the online event in a moment, though since it contains links I?m not sure it will go through. Otherwise you can check the CCJ?s website for this. All best, and hope to see you at the event later today / tomorrow (depending on where you are in the world)! Alex Dear colleagues, The CCJ team is pleased to announce the beta launch of our Viewing Library program. With an aim to broaden the access to works we have been researching and presenting for students, faculty, and researchers, the Viewing Library includes a collection of works by 12 artists and it is meant to be used in the classroom and for individual research purposes. Please visit here for more information. Please note the program is not launched yet (will be on Thursday), and the Viewing Library is not yet viewable. The current viewing site is very basic and uses an available template that is not quite fit for this program. But with a grant received from the Japan US Friendship Commission, we will be working to revamp the viewing site (where the Viewing Library will be hosted) in 2023. We are looking to add pedagogically friendly tools, and we welcome feedback on how we should improve this site. To that end, we would like to invite you to try the Viewing Library for free for a month. After your trial, we would like to collect feedback, either via email or we might organize a survey. And of course, we are also hopeful that you will find the program useful for teaching and consider working with your educational institution to subscribe to the program (a semi-annual subscription gives you access to the entire collection, or a 3-month curated selection is also available). This invitation is sent to a limited group of colleagues but if you think of someone who might be interested in this program, please let me know and we can extend the offer to them. If you are interested, please let me know and we will set-up free access! Please note there is a special online launch event on January 12th EST with Ko Nakajima, Barbara London, Alex Zahlten, and Fusako Matsu. Please register below!

BECOME A MEMBER Ko Nakajima began his career in experimental animation with the creation of works such as Seizoki (1964). At his solo exhibition at the Sogetsu Art Center, a space for avant-garde art in 1960s Tokyo, he produced Seizoki by painting directly on the film between screenings. His perennial interest in integrating new technologies, exploring the potential of film, video, and eventually computer animation, joined his desire to explore human intersections with nature, as seen in his Biological Cycle series (1971-); he created the first work in the series, Biological Life (1971-), by copying manipulated film footage onto video, then further manipulating the work with a video synthesizer. In 1971, Nakajima established Video Earth Tokyo, the pioneering video-art collective. Nakajima used one of the earliest available portable video recorders to document Video Earth Tokyo performance pieces and teach the new technology. Video Earth Tokyo members created works, broadcast works on cable television, and participated in international exhibitions and emergent CG (computer graphics) conferences. In 1982, Nakajima introduced his Aniputer. Aniputer technology allowed wide access to creation of video animation, as this personal portable computer integrated with a video camera, developed in collaboration with Japan Victor Company (JVC), allowed any user to directly manipulate video and images on a screen, creating animations in real time. Nakajima used his expertise manipulating film, photography, and video with computer technology to create what is perhaps his best known work, Mt. Fuji (1984), a ninety-minute rhythmic meditation on nature, spirituality, and perspective. Nakajima has produced works in France, Canada, New Zealand, and Denmark. Representative works include Biological Cycle series (1971-), My Life series (1976-), Mt. Fuji (1984), and Dolmen (1987). His works are in permanent collections internationally, including in Centre Georges Pompidou (France), The Museum of Modern Art (U.S.), Long Beach Museum of Art Video Archive (U.S.), and the Getty Research Institute Special Collections (U.S.). Barbara London is a New York-based curator and writer who founded the video-media exhibition and collection programs at The Museum of Modern Art, where she worked between 1973 and 2013. Her current projects include the bookVideo/Art: The First Fifty Years (Phaidon: 2020), the podcast series ?Barbara London Calling,? and the exhibition ?Seeing Sound? (Independent Curators International, 2020-24). Alexander Zahlten is a Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. His work focuses on popular film and media in Japan and East Asia. Publications include his co-edited volume Media Theory in Japan (Duke University Press, 2017, with Marc Steinberg) and his book The End of Japanese Cinema (Duke University Press, 2017). Recent publications include ?Between Two Funerals: Zombie Temporality and Media Ecology in Japan? in positions: asia critique (2021) or ?Before Media Mix: The Electric Ecology?, in A Companion to Japanese Cinema (David Desser, ed., 2022). Graduated from Musashino Art University, Moving Image Division, Fusako Matsuresearches photography and animation. Participated as an artist in VIDEOFORMS, a film festival in France with Ko Nakajima.

With an aim to broaden the access to works we have been researching and presenting for students, faculty, and researchers, the Viewing Library includes a collection of works by 12 artists and it is meant to be used in the classroom and for individual research purposes. Please visit here for more information. Please note the program is not launched yet (will be on Thursday), and the Viewing Library is not yet viewable. The current viewing site is very basic and uses an available template that is not quite fit for this program. But with a grant received from the Japan US Friendship Commission, we will be working to revamp the viewing site (where the Viewing Library will be hosted) in 2023. We are looking to add pedagogically friendly tools, and we welcome feedback on how we should improve this site. To that end, we would like to invite you to try the Viewing Library for free for a month. After your trial, we would like to collect feedback, either via email or we might organize a survey. And of course, we are also hopeful that you will find the program useful for teaching and consider working with your educational institution to subscribe to the program (a semi-annual subscription gives you access to the entire collection, or a 3-month curated selection is also available). This invitation is sent to a limited group of colleagues but if you think of someone who might be interested in this program, please let me know and we can extend the offer to them. If you are interested, please let me know and we will set-up free access! Please note there is a special online launch event on January 12th EST with Ko Nakajima, Barbara London, Alex Zahlten, and Fusako Matsu. Please register below! With best wishes, Ann Ann Adachi-Tasch, Executive Director Collaborative Cataloging Japan ann_adachi at collabjapan.org http://www.collabjapan.org/ From: KineJapan on behalf of Zahlten, Alexander via KineJapan Date: Thursday, December 29, 2022 at 10:06 To: Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum Cc: Zahlten, Alexander Subject: [KineJapan] Japanese Experimental Film Event Dear All, For those interested in experimental cinema from Japan and / or issues of archiving, and in discovering a new platform for accessing amazing works, please do consider attending the launch event for Collaborative Cataloging Japan (CCJ)?s new library streaming service beta.

Last summer the German press made great hay about Adachi starting or organizing a program at documenta, he actually had nothing to do with it. Considering the situation in Kassel, this was egregiously sloppy journalism. And it created endless headaches for everyone, including Adachi. I've long meant to write about what happened for KineJapan, but the crisis was constant and sucked up all my time for months on end. For those who missed all the ruckus, documenta (the largest art exhibition in the world) was rocked by accusation after accusation of anti-Semitism. One of the artworks most definitely had anti-Semitic caricatures. But the others did not. I participated in one of the collectives rocked by charges of racism. It is called Tokyo Reels and the documentary R21, a centerpiece of the project, is making the festival rounds right now. TR explores a unique archive of Palestinian papers and films discovered in a home in Suginami-ku. As someone who teaches anti-Semitism and fascist cinema, I found the German discourses bewildering. I'm writing a long essay on the archive, but will write a bit about it on KineJapan in the near future. For now (I have a busy day ahead of me), suffice to say, Adachi's only connection to Tokyo Reels and documenta was the donation of one print and a background interview conducted by Yaqubi???in other words, no connection.
