ABOUT MEDIA AMBITION TOKYO 2017
2017 will be MEDIA AMBITION TOKYO (MAT)’s 5th year in running.  To fans and the curious, the event is a real-life showcase of top-notch technological culture that takes an experimental approach to urban implementation.  With its headquarters  situated in Roppongi, venues have further multiplied to Shibuya,Harajyuku,Daikanyama, Ginza, Iidabashi, Ochanomizu, Suidobashi and Odaiba, at which super-edgy artwork, video, music, performances, and talk shows will be hosted.  
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.  MAT aims to substantialize the reformative movement in technology art through experimental validations unbound by genre or category.

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.

  • Audi discusses virtual reality and artificial intelligence with researchers and creative types in the Audi Berlinale Lounge
  • Jason Lusty, Head of Marketing Germany at AUDI AG: “Culture is an  important innovation driver for our society”
  • Audi Short Film Award honors outstanding artistic style

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/berlinaleopenhouse.

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 8pmhttps://www.audi-city.com/berlin/berlinale/tickets-berlinale-2017/.

Dubai Festival City (DFC), an Al-Futtaim group development, has announced a first-of-its-kind attraction set to open in a matter of weeks. The innovative and spectacular multimedia show located within the unforgettable stage of Festival Bay, will bring together elements such as light, water and fire to dramatic effect. With the final stages of development and construction well under-way for the delivery of the epic spectacular, Festival City is poised to set Dubai alight. Expected to be a top global tourist attraction, the immersive show will rival popular waterfront shows in other global destinations such as Las Vegas and Singapore when it opens in December.

The breathtaking new attraction will transform Festival Bay with its cutting edge, multi-media technology, producing the world?s largest permanent projection surface on the InterContinental Dubai Festival City, five times bigger than the world?s largest IMAX screen. Al-Futtaim Group Real Estate has worked with Laservision, producers of the globally renowned Marina Bay Sands show in Singapore, to create a unique sensory experience to rival all others, by harnessing the power of light, water, and fire, combined with giant aqua screens, 30 fountains and surround sound to connect with audiences and produce a show like never before seen before.


Steven Cleaver, Director Shopping Centres, Al-Futtaim Group Real Estate, said: ?Dubai is one of the top global destinations for tourists and we are bringing something to Festival City that will become one of the most exciting attractions ever launched. We have specifically designed this spectacular show to be seen and enjoyed from all angles and viewpoints including our restaurants, the Intercontinental Hotel and the whole area of water of Festival Bay.? Cleaver continued, ?This project has been three years in the making and what we have developed is truly an awesome spectacle that residents of Dubai and visitors from all over the world will want to come and see. We have worked closely with our partner Laservision, to develop a cutting edge multi-media show that will tell a magical 360-degree story across the water at Festival Bay. It has been designed to capture the imagination of people of all ages and will be something visitors will want to come back for time and again.?

The new attraction is part of a massive AED 1.5 billion redevelopment project by Al-Futtaim to reinvigorate Festival City as one of the UAE?s most exciting retail and leisure destinations. The Group has also announced a raft of new international retailers, over the past few months - including Top Shop, Mint Velvet and Rigby & Peller, as well as restaurants including celeb favourite Sugar Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Cheesecake Factory, Bareburger and Tortilla. The popular Singapore department store Robinsons will also open at the mall in early 2017.

For the greater part of our nation's history, the only way to get a message to the President and the White House was to send it by mail. Technology has made new ways of communicating possible. In the 1880s, the White House began receiving phone calls. In 1994, WhiteHouse.gov introduced a way for the public to submit messages online.
These days, no matter where you are or what time of day it is, it's possible to connect instantaneously, in real time, to people all over the world. One of our jobs at the White House is to keep up with these new ways of communication.


Getting a word in with the president has always been one of the White House's most popular citizen services. As President Obama himself has pointed out, "Abraham Lincoln was able to have regular office hours where people would come and wait outside his office, which was over in the residence." Face-to-face time is a little harder to come by these days, but technology makes it possible for anyone with an internet connection to send a message to the President and his Administration.
The White House's Messenger bot, a first of its kind for any government the world over, will make it as easy as messaging your closest friends.
Thanks,
Jason

Update: Further investigations are beginning to point to the possibility of an underwater volcanic hill based on more recent scans. More information should come to the surface. Some believe this new explanation may be a coverup, but that position remains speculation at this point.
Portuguese news reported the discovery of a very large underwater pyramid, first discovered by Diocleciano Silva, between the islands of São Miguel and Terceira in the Azores of Portugal. According to claims, the structure is perfectly squared and oriented by the cardinal points. Current estimates obtained using GPS digital technology put the height at 60 meters with a base of 8,000 square meters. The Portuguese Hydrographic Institute of the Navy currently has the job of analyzing the data to determine whether or not the structure is man-made.
“The pyramid is perfectly shaped and apparently oriented by the cardinal points,” Silva told Diário Insular, the local newspaper.
The pyramid was found in an area of the mid-Atlantic that has been underwater for about 20,000 years. Considering this is around the time of the last ice age where glaciation was melting from its peak 2,000 years prior, whatever civilization, human or not, that was around before the ice age could be responsible for building the pyramid. While the Portuguese Navy still hasn’t determined its origins, many might question why this wasn’t reported on sooner than late 2012. Certainly the NOAA, who studies volcanic activity in the area of the pyramid, would have discovered it through sonar imaging and so forth, as the area is heavily studied due to volcanic activity. Either the NOAA hasn’t yet come across it, they are hiding what they have found, or the pyramid doesn’t exist. The last theory does not seem to be likely given the authenticity of the find.
Archeologists from the Portuguese Association of Archaeological Research have recently discovered evidence on Pico island pointing to the existence of humans in the Azores region before the arrival of the Portuguese thousands of years ago, further supporting the notion that this pyramid could have been built by different civilizations. As of today, there is still no explanation for who created the rock art found on the islands. Was the pyramid built by whatever civilization existed prior to the Portuguese? Is it possibly not even man-made?.


Here is the Portuguese news report with English subtitles for those who wish to look into the authenticity of the claims.
The Azores are an interesting region, comprising a chain of nine volcanic islands in three main groups that are roughly 930 miles west of Lisbon. They are all situated around the fault lines between the North American, Eurasian, and African tectonic plates – an interesting place to have a pyramid given the energetic qualities often associated with pyramids.


This video explores the authenticity of the story and the possible location visually using some maps. It is important to note that exact coordinates of the pyramid have not been released. It is believed that there may be a discovery of 2 more pyramids in the area, as images suggest there could be a design link to that of the pyramids built in Egypt.
