Digital Bricolage, or a Japanese Challenge to Radicalize Creativity

Language: English

Summary: Today Digital Technology has been penetrating every aspect of human life and environment. One may say, digitality is no longer a matter of tool, but it is a part of what it is to be the human condition. Now, we should reconsider the whole question of digital technology. Asian civilizations could, we argue, show various potentialities to incorporate digitality into the world differently from in the Western modernity. This panel challenges to mobilize Japanese sensibilities to develop new paths to radicalize creativity through utilizing the idea of digital bricolage conceived on the basis of Japanese perceptions of tools and technology. This panel consists of 4 presentations for 1 theory and 3 practices.
