Exploring the past and future of visual media
The Visual Media Lab (Minako Terachi) studies the relationship between society and visual media, beginning with television.
Through fieldwork, the lab has clarified how television was received in regional areas in the 1950s, when it emerged as a new visual medium.
Currently, the lab also takes into account visual media such as smartphones, tablets, large screens, and projection, and explores the future of media and of how people acquire information.
It examines from multiple angles the technologies and legal systems that support content and viewing.
