My nam e is Laurent Germeau. I am the Publisher of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. In September we are presenting an exhibition called : 2050, a brief history of the future, based on a book by Jacques Attali a French intellectual.
In this exhibition we will show one of the art work of Kohmura Masao: Running Cola is Africa Arti, a loan by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
I am trying to contact Mr Kohmura Masao to obtain the right to reproduce this piece of art in the catalogue. Would yo uby any chance know how to contact him,
Best regards,

Dear Laurent Germeau,
I am sorry for the delay in answering your question. I was in Rio for two weeks because of an exhibition there on early algorithmic art.
Before leaving, I had sent your question to Yoshi Abe who is an expert and contributor himself in Japanese computer art. From him, I get this answer:
"I guess the right is in group(CTG) management today. Masao Kohmura is now a prof. of Chukyo University in Toyota city, Aichi prefecture. Because of language barrier, making contact with his colleague professor, Prof Dr Kazufumi Oizumi is the best way to get further info. He knows all about CTG and its members. Prof Dr Kazufumi Oizumi email: ooizumi@sist.chukyo-u.ac.jp"
I am certain, if you follow this advice, you will be successful.
