ART | The 18th Japan Media Arts Festival: A Comprehensive Celebration of Media Art

Cod.Act, the Swiss duo of brothers with backgrounds in music and architecture, previously won the Grand Prize in the Art Division twice, at the 14th and 16th Japan Media Arts Festivals. This year, they received an Excellence Award in the same division for their sonic sculpture "Nyloïd," which generates complex, organic movements and sounds.

Dorita, creative director of the web magazine "Colocal," collaborated with Air Garage Lab to create "Slime Synthesizer," a fluid synthesizer offering a completely new musical instrument experience. This work earned her a New Face Award in the Entertainment Division.
