Dear Sir / Madam,

We are pleased to announce the opening of "polar m [mirrored]", an
exhibition observing the earth environment and informational environments
based on a long-term examination from the real of art, at the Yamaguchi
Center for Arts and Media [YCAM].

This exhibition presents the outcome of a collaboration between
Carsten Nicolai and Marko Peljhan, two artists who continue to operate on
the international stage, showcasing new m ethods of environmental
observation based on the latest information technology, and at once
introducing resulting new perspectives on human existence and the
environment in the form of a newly conceived installation (commissioned by
YCAM).
The piece "polar" (2000) that inspired this exhibition in the first place
was an internationally acclaimed project, the much-expected sequel to
which, adopting the general concept, now finally materializes after a
hiatus of ten years. With a focus on "radiation data" as a way of
exploring the new level that computerization has reached in society today,
this never previously experienced installation is an elaborate audio-
visual reflection on the various forms and occasions of exposure to
radioactive rays, including the visitor's experience of the installation
itself.

Please find attached detailed information on a press preview, reception
and opening event with the attendance of the artists. We would like to
invite you to this special occasion, and sincerely hope you will find the
time to attend.
