It operates as a network organization. The 2017 edition has a full program with different performances, workshops, panels and exhibitions. A few activities can be interesting for those who are interested in Japan.<\/p>\n<h4>Hatsune Miku<\/h4>\n<p>Still be Here looks at the multiple constructed identities of vocal synthesiser turned cyber-celebrity Hatsune Miku, a \u2018performing\u2019 3D hologram projection. Since her 2007 launch in Japan, Hatsune Miku became the ultimate pop star, a globally adored and collaboratively constructed cyber celebrity with a growing user community, countless stadium performances as a 3D hologram projection and more than 100.000 songs released worldwide. After the debut of \u2018Still be Here\u2019 last year at CTM festival, it is now coming to TodaysArt 2017 for its Dutch premi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#039;Still Be Here&#039; with Hatsune Miku | Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ukkSHsRw104?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Following an idea initiated and conceptualised by artist Mari Matsutoya, Still Be Here is collectively created with music producer Laurel Halo, award-winning choreographer and visual artist Darren Johnston\/Array, virtual artist LaTurbo Avedon and produced by digital artist Martin Sulzer.\u00a0This special performance is authorised by Crypton Future Media, however, it is not an official Hatsune Miku show.<\/p>\n<p>The show will take place on both days of TodaysArt at Theater aan het Spui, it will start on 22.30. If you only want to see this performance, you can get a single ticket for \u20ac 20.00. With this ticket, you can also see the performance of Laurel Halo.<\/p>\n<h4>Takeshi Ikeda<\/h4>\n<p>The work of Takeshi Ikeda can be seen during TodaysArt 2017. Takeshi Ikeda draws inspiration from experimental music and hardcore punk rock. Ikeda finds the two genres very structured and monotonous, boring even. He actually calls them \u201cBoredom Music\u201d. The artist explores new ways of making \u2018boring\u2019 compositions since he considers it a significant quality of music, and life. For the recorded performance Fuck Everything (2017), the artist started off with the idea that \u201cthe music is too boring to concentrate on and the music seems individualistic and distant\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FzSIpSeKMlA<\/p>\n<p>At TodaysArt you can also see the video \u2018666 or more malignant songs which should be forgotten immediately after they\u2019re played\u2019, a hilarious take on hardcore punk music, which revolves around the sound of biting into tomatoes.<\/p>\n<h4>Tickets<\/h4>\n<p>If you want to visit TodaysArt for the whole day, you can buy a Day Pass for Friday or Saturday for \u20ac 35.00, a Festival Pass will cost you \u20ac 60.00. If you want to go all out and support the festival, you can buy a Festival Support Pass for \u20ac 100.00 and have your seating reserved for headlining shows and more.
