"Designart Tokyo expands the possibilities of communication as a design and art festival where you can experience artworks
and artists online in addition to the conventional physical experience," said the organizers of Designart Tokyo.

"In particular, a cloud system will be introduced to allow participants and visitors to explain and purchase artworks online where you can have a 360-degree view of the space with a 3D walk-through view, with a direction by Yuta Tokunaga of ARCHI HATCH." 

"It brings closer the distance between the artwork and the audience and creates various exchanges," they added.
