Who left the first trace?
When the sumerians engraved cuneiform letters onto clay tablets 5000 years ago, the thoughts and feelings, art and science of humanity were imbued with eternal life.The arts and cultures born of 'writing', man's most pivotal invention, reveal traces of a transmission between the past to the future, the individual to the masses.
The vestige on stage at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT etch new traces onto the modern consciousness. After literally walking the earth, Katsumi Asaba invites us to be eyewitness to various shades of universal expression.

■祈りの痕跡。」展 - 情報伝達のためのメディア

たとえばそれは，誰かへの恋文だったのかもしれない。
日々，死に向かい歩く道のなかで，
どうしても残しておきたい想いに出会ってしまったとき，
わたしたちは文字を選ぶ。
最近読んだ本で永遠性について書かれていたけれど，
ナスカの地上絵やトンパ経典は，
その努力や苦行を越えて，種別の死滅を確かに救った。
「文字」に囲まれる経験というのは，そうあることではない。
たとえ日々書斎で生活していたとしても。
情報という名の選ばれない文字が溢れ返る今だからこそ，
気持ちがいい空間だと思う。
浅葉さんの日記の文字はフォントのようだけれども。
空間作りがとても上手でした。
