Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, a DX-focused destination

Even during rainy trips to Kanazawa, many visitors reliably enjoy the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. Exhibitions change periodically, but until March 17, 2024, the "DXP (Digital Transformation Planet) - Towards the Next Interface" exhibition is being held. For a limited time, Alter3—an AI developed by Professor Takashi Ikegami's lab at the University of Tokyo—greeted visitors with a surprisingly lifelike presence. It had evolved to a point that was unsettling in a good way, which was quite astonishing. While the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa is also famous for its "Swimming Pool" installation, I wasn't particularly interested in that and focused solely on enjoying DXP (the pool reception had a long line).
