Olympics Sites of Tokyo 3.0: A Sensory Archive of Displacement
February 12, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
A sensory archive reveals the urban development history and the lived experience of the demolition and displacement of the Tokyo Olympics. Mapping Tokyo Olympics 3.0 uses hybrid spatial and sensory ethnography and intermedial approaches to collaboratively map the imperial (1940), high-growth (1964) and post-growth (2020) Tokyo Olympics to uncover their layers of time, history, materiality and the digital city-image.
Sharon Hayashi is Associate Professor of Cinema and Media Studies in the Department of Cinema and Media Arts at York University, Toronto. Hayashi’s recent work has focused on visualizing and archiving spatial practices of artistic and social collectives in Tokyo. Her current research projects include the digital mapping archive project Mapping Tokyo Olympics 3.0: The Politics of Demolition and Displacement, and the collaborative gaming project Eco-tour: Local Currency, Community, and Sustainability in Rural Japan.
