Creative lesson　art&Power of design

Now, art and design are hot spots in society. Art is not a self expression, it is a big challenge how to express the world. Design is not only a design but also a thought tool that solves various administrative and enterprise problems. Both of these will be a great force to create society of the future.In this exercise, we will acquire the basic idea of art & design based on cases of Japan and the world.I think the power of art & design will give great direction to the development of technology. In the final round, you will have a short presentation on “The issues of art & design city you think”.

HACKATHON (Design workshop)

A Hackathon (Design workshop) will be held in July as part of the ongoing biotechnology wearables fashion project.

         

Today, the way we view life is changing. We have diverse narratives about life, including sustaining life by use of biotechnology, genetic engineering, eternal life, peaceful and natural way of dying, and self and the periphery (inorganic, AL, etc.) In fashion, we don’t merely seek only trend and culture, but rather a profound connection to life as well. We need to develop new fashion that makes working easier and wearables to ensure the safety of the elderly, children and the disabled as well as to save life at the time of disaster.

Ulrike Oberlack and Heather Barnett from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London will conduct the hackathon. Drawing on the ideas generated in the previous fashion cafés, students, artists/designers, and scientists/technologists will work together to build on the existing ideas, hack materials and build prototypes. This is a credit course intended for graduate students.
