 Coffee itself has been one of the main “supporters” of culture and the first “social media network” in history. Indeed, the drink is a symbol of sharing that has brought about the creation of countless ideas and works art. This is a mission which Lavazza, as a global coffee industry leader, has opted to embrace by way of collaborations, initiatives and important art and cultural projects. With Italy arguably being the cradle of culture, Lavazza naturally has within its DNA an innate sensibility and passion for the arts. A love that has over the years sparked collaborations with some of the globe’s leading contemporary photographers and lead unique cultural programs. Francesca Lavazza, Lavazza Board Member and Member of the Guggenheim Board of Trustees states, “I am pleased to announce our new collaboration with the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, an iconic institution founded by a woman who I deeply admire.” She added “I am also delighted that we at Lavazza have grown our support for the Guggenheim Foundation, which began in 2014 with the Guggenheim New York. With this latest collaboration in Venice, our company is taking yet another crucial step in developing our role as a global driver for the arts and culture. We are proud of Lavazza’s history of more than two decades of supporting photography projects, cultural institutions and other initiatives that not only strategically align our products with a key audience segment, but more importantly help generate unique and thought-provoking programs.” The first exhibition Lavazza supports at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection is “Mark Tobey: Threading Light.” The show will be on view from May 6, 2017 - September 10, 2017, with its first weeks opening to the public during the famed Venice Biennale, the leading contemporary art show. It was Mark Tobey himself who nearly 60 years ago in 1958 received the City of Venice Prize at the Venice Biennale. And now, the first retrospective in more than 20 years explores and re-contextualizes a selection of 66 works by this major American painter whose influence on the movement towards a national modern art identity was in the past overlooked. Additionally, since 2015, Lavazza has had a partnership with the Civic Museums of Venice, an organization that oversees and operates the most iconic institutions in the city. It was through this relationship that Lavazza was also able to work with the Fortuny Museum in Venice and realize a retrospective exhibition on this visionary artist at the Hermitage State Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia where Lavazza is also a strategic partner as of December 2016. | ||
| LAVAZZA and its commitment to promoting art and culture Lavazza has a long history of promoting the arts and culture. From its first steps taken with revolutionary campaigns created by the undisputed Italian advertising genius Armando Testa, through to the celebration of artistic creativity represented by the Lavazza Calendar, the company has always been a pioneer in the visual arts. From photography and design to fine advertising graphics, today Lavazza is a partner of leading international art museums. These include: the Guggenheim Museum in New York (USA), the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Venice), the Musei Civici Veneziani in Venice (Italy), and the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg (Russia). Lavazza also offers its support to the MUDEC (Museum of Cultures) in Milan, the Merz Foundation, Camera (the Italian Center for Photography) and Circolo dei Lettori in Turin and to top international art and photography events worldwide, including the Mia Photo Fair in Milan and exhibitions by Steve McCurry, the author of the ¡Tierra! series of photographs shot in Honduras, Peru, Colombia, India, Brazil, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Vietnam, taking us on a journey to discover coffee trading routes and communicating all the passion and commitment that the Lavazza Foundation invests in coffee-producing communities. This is all of course enhanced by a more than 20 year history of working with some of the world’s leading photographers on the Lavazza Calendar projects, with the likes of Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, David LaChapelle, Thierry Le Gouès and more. |

Feb. 13, 2017
ABOUT MEDIA AMBITION TOKYO 2017
2017 will be MEDIA AMBITION TOKYO (MAT)’s 5th year in running.

Programs have organically increased, expanded and connected simultaneously with the number of domestic and international participants by way of innovators, organizations and events, allowing MAT to mature as an active body.
With 2020 and beyond in mind, and not omitting the largely evolving systematic designs of transportation, communication and information, the event addresses the potential of technology in creating the city’s future.

Highlight of MAT 2017
- Hot and front-line artists of techonolgy Art
The leading artists in various fields including Rhizomatiks, teamLab, and WOW have participated in the past MATs. This year, we welcomed new participants – Yoichi Ochiai, the advocate of digital nature, Takram, the boundary crosser of design and engineering, and Rei Wakita and Tetsuya Komuro who have participated in Ars Electronica to name a few.
- Introducing up-and-coming artists to play key roles in the next generation
If we want Tokyo to keep creating new cultures, we have to nurture artists of next generation and show them to the world. MAT continues its tradition to introduce another group of the choicest up-and-coming artists.
Additionally, teamLab that has produced hot exhibits all over the world will hold the workshop for children to cultivate the technological culture for the future.
- Technological arts meet “humor”!
Having “SmileTech” to merge technology and humor as our slogan, MAT 2017 covers several pieces of laughter-inducing works. We believe that “humor” will be an essential element to activate our communication with technology and arts. We have nominated art pieces you can instinctively enjoy that capture laughable elements hidden in our daily lives with the technological arts.
- Brand new visual experience
While technology advances day by day, the improvement of functional specs alone is no longer of any significance. Only when artists and designers add the cultural significance, it becomes the truly new value. MAT 2017 offers the new visual experience such as the spherical projection screen to give the sense of immersion and Colloidal Display that projects images over the soap bubble.
- Barrier free of the future and OMOTENASHI utilizing technology
In light of 2020 Tokyo Olympics, we present how technology can influence communication and its potential under the slogan of “OMOTENASHI”.
We use “UD TALK” to support the universal design of communication for the panel discussions in this event. What are being discussed will be shown in the subtitle by the voice recognition + voice synthesis functions in real time. Also implementing multi-language translation function, we help to eliminate the auditory and language barriers. With the support of technology, we investigate and experiment on opportunities everybody can take advantage of without exception.
Also, we humorously show “OMOTENASHI” in the ordinary conversation between “a taxi driver and a foreign tourist” by the facial exchange algorithm and the read aloud function as a project to investigate the potential of cross-cultural communication.

Berlin/Ingolstadt, January 31, 2017 – The 67th Berlin International Film Festival will showcase the wide diversity of cinema from February 9 to 19. New technologies like virtual reality are important innovation drivers here. As the principal partner to the Berlinale, Audi supports dialogue between the arts and industry with the Berlinale Open House event series and the European Film Market’s EFM Horizon innovation platform. In addition, fans of the cinema can enjoy discussions about current films, exceptional concerts and the best view of the curb where the stars arrive.
The Berlinale is an interface between art and technology. With increasing digitalization, the two worlds are merging together. “Culture is an important innovation driver in our society since it shows new ways of thinking and new ideas – beyond linear processes,” explains Jason Lusty, Head of Marketing Germany at AUDI AG. “In an increasingly digital world, a strong creative industry takes on special importance. It examines things critically, uses artistic intuition to create new contexts and supports the acceptance of technical innovations in society.” For this reason, the possibilities and acceptance of new technologies will be one of the topics discussed during the Berlinale as part of the Berlinale Open House program in the Audi Berlinale Lounge. Panels made up of respected experts discussed, among other things, their assessments of the future of artificial intelligence. The European Film Market (EFM), held during the film screenings in the official program, has developed into one of the most important markets for the international film industry. As a partner to the new EFM Horizon innovation platform, Audi supports the issue of digitalization in the film industry. New technologies like virtual and augmented reality, connectivity through the Cloud and changed consumer behavior due to an ever-stronger on-demand culture are changing the film industry and automotive industry alike. The sharing of experiences drives innovation and highlights new options for collaboration. The brand with the four rings has facilitated a lucrative prize for experimental film since 2015 with the Audi Short Film Award. This year 23 films from 19 countries are competing for gold and silver bears in the Berlinale Shorts as well as for the Audi Short Film Award, which carries EUR 20,000 in prizes. “Short film is a platform for experimentation. Within a very short time span, it provokes emotions, enables changes in perspective, breaks conventions, tests new formats and explores boundaries,” Lusty said. The jury for international short film – Christian Jankowski, Carlos Núñez and Kimberly Drew – presented the Audi Short Film Award for works produced in an outstanding artistic style and, with it, underscored the importance of the form for social discourse. The Audi Berlinale Lounge can be accessed each day by anyone who is interested. From the balcony, the stars can be watched as they drive up to the red carpet. The discussion rounds with prominent guests and experts provide a look behind the scenes at the Berlinale. There is live music and DJ performances every night at the Berlinale Lounge Nights, starting at 8pmActs expected to perform include Robert Stadlober, Edita Malov?i? alias Madita, “Die Höchste Eisenbahn” and the “Major Minors,” among others. All schedules and details can be found atwww.berlinale.de/en/ As in previous years, Audi City Berlin is the official place to purchase Berlinale tickets, and will be open daily starting February 6 from 10am to 8pm: https://www.audi-city.com/ |

*HOL: corrupción al máximo en video Youtube
JOSE ZEPEDA, Jefe de Prensa de OCESA, fue reconocido merecidamente ante aplausos, hace unos días con el premio GOLD ELIT, acto que engloba su esfuerzo en el acertado control de incontables medios de comunicación, tarea nada fácil, pero en la que José Zepeda, le ha dado claridad a la promoción de cientos de eventos y buenos resultados para Ocesa espectáculos…En la foto con la cantante Dulce y un Editor, colega a quienes extendemos la felicitación…Recuerdo el primer concierto de INXS, de OCESA en el Palacio de los Deportes, con una gran jefa de prensa, muy guapa y talentosa, hoy trabaja para Capital 21….Han cursado por ahí otros jefes de prensa a quienes recuerdo con afecto, por ello, en este caso, me queda decirle a Pepe, ¡Muchas felicidades! al buen tipo, buena persona, trabajador, profesional en una función importante que esperemos siga por muchos años más, creciendo con CIE –OCESA, ahora que ya predomina la era Digital en los Medios de Comunicación…ANDA, Asociación Nacional de Actores, entregó, ayer, la Medalla Virginia Fábregas, por 25 Años de trayectoria, para Alejandra Ávalos, Nuria Bages, Martín Vidal, Tony Balardi, Alejandro Correa, Verónica Langer, Moisés Iván, Bety Flecha, Jorge Ortín, Gerardo Soublete, Beatriz Cecilia Medalla Eduardo Arozamena, por 50 Años de trayectoria a Mario Caballero Orozco Kíkaro, Arturo Mercado, María Prado, Alejandro Suárez y José Guadalupe Ramírez...OMAR SUAREZ, preso. El productor de teatro en la cárcel por fraude de 3 millones de pesos. Le deseamos salga pronto y logre seguir su camino de ascendencia, pero el problema aquí fue que OMAR tuvo gente a su lado trabajando que no le convenía y ahí está el resultado de una especie de soberbia de su gente cercana, sobre todo en prensa, área muy delicada…Un saludo a OMAR a quien hemos criticado sí, como debe ser, algunos actos negativos, de abuso contra actores, como no pagarles e inventar elencos para cobrar bien en las provincias, pero en este entorno pues mi deseo es porque revuelva su situación...LA MOTA y el permiso dado a 4 quemadores empedernidos es un acto que no le correspondía contestar a la Suprema Corte y así esto dio pie a que más marihuanos se unan y se legalice. Esto en México no funcionará. Ya que en países en que se ha legalizado, se debe a que son naciones de Primer Mundo, con otra educación. Es diferente el tercermundista México, ganador absoluto del primer lugar mundial en corruptos políticos delincuentes y podríamos terminar con millones de ciudadanos pobres y adictos inundando las calles y atracando para comprar Mota…Yo opino que la verdadera meta de estos cuatro, es desquiciar a México… “HOL, EL ESCANDALO” está en Youtobe y traspasó fronteras. Millones de mexicanos Han visto el video con varias grabaciones en secuencia donde estos empresarios españoles dicen que somos pend….y el cómo van haciendo –con asesor financiero- la “tranza” para robarse dineros del erario del Estado de México por miles y miles de millones, a través de contratos en pago por adelantado por varios años. Además el cómo cobran un altísimo Peaje, lo que quieren, en carreteras que construyeron con el dinero de los mexicanos con el permio de Eruviel Avila, el Gobernador… ¿Ya habrá visto el video Don Eruviel Avila? .¿Don Enrique Peña Nieto, Presidente de México, ya ha visto este tremendo video en Youtobe? Donde consta que abusaron de su confianza y están robándose el dinero del Estado de México a manos llenas. Eso consta en esa grabación. Estos españoles rateros, platican el cómo están tranzando a México y al Secretario de Comunicaciones y Transportes…¡Por Dios, ya basta!...Millones de connacionales dicen y piden ya que a estos Gallegos de HOL se les aplique un juicio legal por ese atraco ya todo quien les ha ayudado…Saludo afectuosamente y felicito a nuestra guapísima Primera Dama de México, ANGELICA RIVERA, por sus éxitos en frente del DIF…albertoestevez88@hotmail.com
