After six years of dormancy, the Sapporo International Art Festival (SIAF) returns to Japan. Artists including Amy Karle (image: Echoes From the Valley of Existence, 2024), Quayola, Xin Liu, and Superflux contribute to a futurity-themed flagship exhibition alongside trio Tega Brain, Julian Oliver, and Bengt Sjölén. Pioneering inventor-performers Maywa Denki and MIT Media Lab Tangible Media Group instigator Hiroshi Ishii are standouts amongst a deep roster of Japanese artists and designers.
