NTT InterCommunication Center, Media art museum in Nishi-Shinjuku, Japan
The NTT InterCommunication Center sits on the fourth floor of Tokyo Opera City Tower and displays digital art exhibitions alongside technological innovations through interactive formats. Exhibitions rotate regularly and showcase projects exploring different sides of media art and experimental technology.
The museum opened in 1997 to mark the 100th anniversary of telephone services in Japan. This founding represented a turning point in joining telecommunications and artistic research together.
The center serves as an international meeting point where artists and scientists work together to explore how technology and creative expression connect. Visitors often experience this collaboration through interactive works that invite hands-on experimentation.
The center is reachable from Hatsudai Station on the Keio New Line with a three-minute walk, or from Nishi-Shinjuku-gochome Station in about twelve minutes. The location sits within a modern high-rise complex with shops and restaurants nearby.
The facility maintains HIVE, an extensive video archive documenting media art exhibitions available to the public both on-site and online. This archive allows visitors and researchers to follow how media art projects have developed over time.
