Although it is unfortunate that we can't find these things when we want to, there is possibility in some degree that we don't get them. If the misfortune happens to many people, the people will be disappointed and gloomy. The media art in Tokyo is suffering this misfortune. Many people say, "The media art is boring and annoying." and the opinion is being fixed. It gains good reputation in London, New York, Linz and Taipei, etc, however, it is something dull in the center of media art. If people can find the things they are looking for, the misfortune will go away. And the unprecedented art event began.
