Sapporo Art Museum
Title Forest of Media Arts
Maywa denki NONSENSE MACHINE in Sapporo / Did you know that sapporo is a UNESCO Media Arts City?
These two exhibitions will be held at the Sapporo Art Park within the scope of the “Media Arts Forest.” It may seem that Sapporo, with its rich natural environment, bears no connection to the technological field of media arts, but there is in fact a deep relationship between the two.
Upon entering the museum, you will be greeted by the “Did You Know that Sapporo is a UNESCO Media Arts City?” exhibition in Exhibition Room B, which focuses on the technological and creative industries originating from Sapporo and introduces the relationship between them.

Following this, the “Maywa Denki Nonsense Machine in Sapporo” is housed in the main building, where visitors can play with and experience a variety of amusing Nonsense Machines. This is a unique opportunity to witness the talent of the number one entertainer in media arts, from the conception to the development of a new future that transcends common sense.
