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.
During the five-day camp, participants attempt to capture ecosystems as data and express them as information through the observation of microbial communities, plants and animals using DNA analysis, sensors and cameras. The exhibition presents scenes from the workshops and the results of the artworks and prototypes made by the participants.
