ASIAGRAPH is a general event which puts on display the superior and unique digital content born out of a combination of science and art against the background of the diverse cultures of Asia. ASIAGRAPH will bring together the Asian researchers and creators active on the global frontlines of content creation for exhibits of artistic works and presentations of the latest technology. In recent years the unique content produced by Asian cultures has become very popular globally among all ages and nationalities. It is safe to say that the new value being created out of the chaotic mishmash of cultures in Asia will become central to the culture of the 21st century. Visitors to ASIAGRAPH will be led toward new areas of Asian content through an introduction of developing technology expected to create the culture of the future.

Concept

ASIA竍粘PACE

ASIAGRAPH is a comprehensive event which introduces a variety of culture in Asia to the world for the development of superior and unique digital content of Asia born out of the convergence of science and art.
ASIAGRAPH has been introducing a leading-edge science technology and artworks originated from Asia as part of main activities of Digital Content EXPO, now in its fourth year.

The theme of this year's ASIAGRAPH is “Asia⇔Space" (From Asia to Space, and From Space to Asia)

Five senses of human will lead the world and continuously grow with advanced and complicated creativity by being closely linked to cutting-edge science technology. To that end, it is necessary to set a “field" of exhibition where human senses meet, communicate, converge, stimulate, and complicatedly evolve with the advanced science technology. In such a field, Asian traditional art and leading-edge science technology spark off each other and will bring a variety of fruits for near-future industrial society. The establishment of such fields will bring forth an advanced and fine creative energy that is originated in Asia. We are sure we can overcome the disaster of earthquakes happened in March and generate new energy.

ASIAGRAPH will create new-generation “fields" of pan-Asia including Brasil, located on the other side of the world. We will invite you all to the field where we can see the hopeful and dream “horizon."
