In 2015, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Chijikinkutsu” by Nelo Akamatsu (Digital Musics & Sound Art) with the Golden Nica. Nelo Akamatsu has 1 more work in this atlas.
*Chijikinkutsu* is a coinage especially created for the title of this work by combining two Japanese words: “chijiki” and “suikinkutsu”. Chijiki means geomagnetism: terrestrial magnetic properties that have always existed and affect everything on earth, though it cannot be perceived by the human senses.
