BODY ACTION IN CYBERSPACE -BODY AS AN INTERFACE, AND CYBERSPACE FOR CREATIVE ACTIVITY-

(1)对日本目前的数字媒体如艺术、娱乐（包括游戏）、网络虚拟人物中的身体表达进行理论研究，并从日本文化的角度对这一现象进行分析。与此相关的论文被包括CAA99和isa00在内的不同国际会议和专题讨论会所接受。并应邀到美国加州大学洛杉矶分校、美国俄勒冈大学、芬兰KIASMA国家当代艺术博物馆等国内外高校及机构讲学。一篇关于他们的论文被刊登在一本日本杂志上。该书的英文版正在法兰克福大学印刷中。(2)对远程机器人技术在身体和艺术方面的影响进行了理论研究，论文作为Ken Goldberg编辑的《the Robot in the Garden: Telerobotics and Telepistemology on the Net》一书的一部分在MIT Press出版。这本书于2000年3月出版。另一篇关于远程机器人艺术的论文由麻省理工学院出版社的LEONARDO Almanac出版。(3)建立了一个实时系统，这是早期合作研究者Fukuhara的舞蹈表演平台，在日本和国外的演出和工作坊中用于实验身体表达。(4) 1999年11月，与早期的合作研究者Grznic在斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那组织了一次关于身体与艺术的研讨会。选择与主题相关的艺术品进行展出，并邀请两位日本研究人员进行讲座，并由首席研究员进行两次讲座。(5)与Kume等人合作的作品《Fantastic Phantom Slipper》被SIGGRAPH 99接受并展出。在此基础上，向日本虚拟现实学会（Virtual Reality Society of Japan）提交了一篇论文并被接受。

(1)Carried a theoretical study on the body expression in the current digital media in Japan such as art, entertainment (including games) and virtual characters on the web, and analyzed the phenomenon in terms of Japanese culture. Papers related to this them were accepted presented internationally in different conferences and symposia including CAA99 and ISEA00. Also, invited lectures were given domestic and abroad at universities and other institutions including UCLA, University of Oregon, KIASMA National Museum of Contemporary Art of Finland among others. A paper on this them was printed on a Japanese journal. Its English version is under print from Frankfurt University.(2)Carried a theoretical study on the impact of telerobotic technology in terms of body and art, on which a paper is published from the MIT Press as a part of a book edited by Ken Goldberg, "The Robot in the Garden : Telerobotics and Telepistemology on the Net".The book is published March 2000. Another paper on telerobotic art was published by LEONARDO Almanac, from MIT Press.(3)Built a realtime system, a platform for dance performances by the earlier co-investigator Fukuhara, which was used both in Japan and abroad in performances and workshops for experimenting the body expression.(4)With the earlier co-investigator Grznic, organized a symposium on body and art in Ljubljana, Slovenia in November 1999. Artworks related to the theme were selected and exhibited, while two lectures by the head investigator were given along with lectures of two other researchers invited from Japan.(5)"Fantastic Phantom Slipper", the project carried with Kume and others was accepted at SIGGRAPH 99 and was exhibited. Based on this exhibition and others, a paper was submitted to Virtual Reality Society of Japan and accepted.
