Communication has so far been considered linguistically. However, with the advancement of technology, boundaries between nations and peoples have become increasingly ambiguous. This has led to body and visual language to become increasingly important in addition to verbal language. Moreover, there is a new phenomenon of people connecting non-hierarchically over social media to autonomously put forward a message as a crowd, causing a movement to emerge that forces society to respond. What lies beyond social media? What are we going to communicate and how? How will the way we do that change?
Moderator Naoki Ono (creative director; product designer), head of design studio YOY and editor-in-chief of Kohkoku published by Hakuhodo, will think about the future of communicating with mmm (interpreter) who explores the potentials of sensory expression, and Takeshi Otaka (Head, Motion Gallery; Co-Head, POPcorn), who runs Motion Gallery, a crowd funding platform specializing on creative projects.
