Let\u2019s think about future ecosystems! This five-day intensive workshop camp will generate new ideas for enriching ecosystems, including those that involve us. Participants will interpret the existence and behavior of living creatures (even microorganisms!) and their environments as data, and then use this to produce information and forms of creative expression.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Civic Creative Base Tokyo\u2019s 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.

\u3000The fourth iteration of Future Ideations Camp will deal with ecosystems, including ecosystems that involve the human race. An ecosystem is a system of complex, reciprocal relationships between living creatures (including humans) and their environment. Since ancient times, humans have integrated the benefits from these ecosystems into their lives, but the negative effects of our actions are today accelerating. Against this backdrop, gaining a deeper understanding of ecosystems not only gives us fresh perspectives on science, technology, art, and cultural activities, but also reveals new guiding principles for enriching all ecosystems, in which we also play a part. In this camp, participants will adopt hands-on approaches that take an overview of ecosystems and develop a renewed awareness of ecology in order to explore new proposals and ideas related to human activities and roles for society today and in the future.

The curriculum focuses on ecological themes, and features both research and praxis about obtaining, organizing, and interpreting data on living creatures and their surrounding environments. Advances in digital technology have made it more possible than ever to acquire and analyze data on ecosystems. In the workshops, participants will attempt to understand the existence of fauna that inhabit certain areas, including microorganisms, and their behavior as well as surrounding environments as data. In the group work, participants will use invisible and unorganized data on ecosystems as informational content for creative expression, serving as a way to think about future ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
