• About

  • WKTLAB’s 10th release, Tokyo.Ten is a compilation of DVD, Book and Blog that chronicles our entire audiovisual output since we began five years ago. We celebrate the “point” of Tokyo with our partners-in-crime, Lab Artists Takagi Masakatsu, DJ Uppecut, Hifana and Afra and all the creatives we have collaborated with. The DVD contains ten of our favorite music videos from the nine albums as well as some B-side selects. It also premieres the new video Maledict Car, introducing our latest music artist Jemapur, offering a peek into our next journey. In addition, Takagi’s Hill will be included in DVD for the first time. The book features a visual remix of our first nine releases to date, followed by original artwork from some of the visual artists involved in the creation of these albums as well as future potential partners. 42 artists from inside and outside of Japan offer their perspectives on Tokyo and Japanese culture, and place their own “dot” on these pages. This blog documents the participating artists’ thoughts and process as they concept, sketch, fabricate, illustrate, and refine their art for this book. As a dynamic extension to the book, www.wktokyolab.com/ten offers us a rare glimpse and insight into the artists’ creative process, allowing us to connect with the book on a different level.
