Talk Event: Jinen Colloquium #21 "The World Begins with Touch"
0PostsArtists
Fumitaka Kimizuka, Karen Murata
Jinen Colloquium is a talk series that brings together perspectives from natural sciences, history, art, society and culture to spark curiosity and open up new ways of thinking.
The physicist Torahiko Terada once described people who talk about science without conducting scientific research themselves as “science scholars.” Today, with knowledge and information more accessible than ever, it has become easy to search, summarise and discuss almost any subject without firsthand experience. But what happens to the value of learning through direct experience and the insights gained through trial and error?
This session welcomes creator and front-end engineer Fumitaka Kimizuka, who develops interactive interfaces through experimentation, and engineer and business producer Karen Murata, who focuses on experience-based learning that makes knowledge personally meaningful. Through their work, the discussion explores what it means to touch, make and experience, and considers the role of firsthand experience in learning and creativity today.
