‘Let’s take a tour through Tokyo via hi-tech media!’ According to the curator of the video-games exhibition Tokyo Techno Tourism, Masuyama Hiroshi, videogames are excellent travel guides in a world where media space and physical space get closer and closer. According to Masuyama, today’s partly fictional Tokyo is very accessible in the ten games that he has chosen for his beautifully designed exhibition. Each game is situated in a neighbourhood of Tokyo. En passant the chosen video games undermine the idea that only aggression can be found in the Japanese hi-tech world. You can also learn to drive a local train according to a tight schedule through a busy cityscape.
