Digista
65 minutes
Digital Stadium, also known as Digista, is one of the most promoted shows on Japanese TV (NHK). The programme invites artists to submit a wide range of digital art works for judging, comments, and advising from leading professionals active in the field. Digista is dedicated to supporting and nurturing young artists and thereby helping to create a new visual culture for the digital era.
One of the special features of the programme is a kind of reverse selection process whereby applicants get to choose the professional artists who will act as curators on the show.
Applicants submit their work to a specific member of the curatorial team, whose names are announced in advance via the programme web site or on the programme itself. The curators then judge the designated artworks, strictly yet kindly, from their professional viewpoint.
Curators choose a best work of the week from among the submissions, thereby granting it entry to the Digital Stadium or Hall of Fame cherished by all the young artists who apply. Each winner’s name is forever engraved in the Stadium.
