From this year, we are running this project under a new name: “HISTORICA X -cross-”. This year’s theme is “The Era of New-Dimensional EIZO with DX and Generative AI”.
As virtual production projects and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) intersect with art within our society, the entire audiovisual industry is required to move to a new stage through digital transformation. Through HISTORICA X, we aim to explore any and every futuristic option such as the metaverse, NFTs, and generative AI with the aim of intersecting – or Xing – them with the realm of visual art.
