Future Ideations Camp Vol. 6: Reclaiming the City beneath Unseen Rules explores strategies for individual intervention in the commons as well as the new relationships that emerge from that. This exhibition showcases the camp and what the roughly forty participants achieved.
Civic Creative Base Tokyo’s Future Ideations Camp is a series of intensive workshops bringing different kinds of people together to work collaboratively and creatively with art and digital technologies. Twenty selected participants take part in several days of lectures to acquire new ways of thinking, workshops for building skill sets, and collaborative group activities. During the camps, the general public are also able to attend talks and presentations of the results. Along with learning about the challenges related to each edition’s theme, participants employ creative approaches to engage with social issues and undertake collaborative group work with the aim of proposing new ideas for the future.
The sixth edition of Future Ideations Camp is a three-day exploration of the city, the commons, and unseen rules through various experimental actions in urban space.
How can individuals intervene in the city, embedded as it is with the unseen rules of social norms and institutions? What new relationships emerge from such interventions? Based on these questions, a total of around forty lecturers, facilitators, and participants examine the nature of cities from different perspectives. The participants work with practitioners from a wide range of fields, including a spatial computing pioneer, an artist who reinterprets the city through the body, and a lawyer who sheds light on the rules that permeate the city.
This exhibition showcases the overall camp as well as the results of the concepts and projects that participants created together in groups, all with a focus on Shibuya Koen-dori, the street onto which CCBT faces. Witness their collaborative process and various endeavors and perspectives on the city.
