CCBT “Art x Tech Lab”, a program for learning and practicing manufacturing with digital technology, will hold “Maywa Denki Shibuya Factory in CCBT” to commemorate its opening, introducing the creative process of Maywa Denki, a pioneer in media art.
Maywa Denki makes unique gadget art that we call \u201cnonsense machines.\u201d We harness these artistic resources by holding events (which we call \u201cmass promotion\u201d) like music concerts and exhibitions, and creating commercial products (\u201cmass production\u201d) like toys. Collectively, we call these two stands of activities \u201cmasspro art.\u201d You could also call this a kind of media art that actively incorporates mass media.

The exhibits focus on the mass production part of our masspro art. From the appearance of the Na-Cord in 1995 to the Otamatone, we have proactively developed art products. The creative process behind these items is introduced in the form of concept sketches, prototypes, and toys that you can try for yourself. We have transformed the venue into the Maywa Denki factory, so you can see toys actually being made.

We hope you enjoy exploring Maywa Denki\u2019s uniquely inventive and creative style! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maywa Denki<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The art unit produced by Novmichi Tosa.
While wearing blue working clothes, which is a typical style of small businesses that supported Japan’s high economic growth, they develop and introduce various nonsense machines all over the world in forms of concert and exhibition.
In 2003, it received the Semi Grand Prix Prize in the Interactive Art category at the Ars Electronica. Also they develop mass products such as a note shaped electronic musical instrument “Otamatone”.Otamatone has become a hit product, with cumulative sales exceeding one million units. In 2016, We held Exhibition in Mcam(Shanghai). in 2021. Currently, we are successfully holding “Maywa Denki Nonsense Machine Factory Exhibition” in Beijing (China) with all exhibits set up remotely. In 2022, we held “Maywa Denki Nonsense Factory Exhibition in Tsukuba” (Tsukuba Museum of Art, Ibaraki) . In 2023 debut 30th anniversary. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Message from Tosa Novmichi, President of Maya Denki<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What the heck is CCBT? This is a question that\u2019s still bouncing around inside my head. Reading the explanation, CCBT seems to be a kind of hub for media arts and digital creativity. But what\u2019s media arts? And digital creativity? That\u2019s hard to answer! I don\u2019t know! I guess it\u2019s a place for making something new by combining art and technology. OK, in which case, let\u2019s try throwing everything we do at it. We\u2019ll recreate the Maywa Denki factory in the venue and develop and make toys! That said, I don\u2019t know if we\u2019re allowed to set up a factory right in the middle of Shibuya! During the exhibition, we\u2019ll hold live music concerts! But it\u2019s gonna be pretty noisy! At any rate, we\u2019ll do some crazy stuff to seek out CCBT\u2019s potential. Please come along and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
