Title:
メディア的日本への躙り口 /Invitation to a new, media-oriented view of Japan
About Talks:
古川氏は、茶道を、古と今、日本と世界を繋ぐ媒体として捉える。茶道という”生活の中の芸術”の延長戦上に、美しさを追究するデジタル技術の発展があるのではないか。「一座建立」に流れる精神は、コミュニケーションやメディアを考える上での原点なのではないか。日本の凝縮という美意識はバウハウスを始めとする現在のデザインの源流に相通ずるのではないか。古川氏のメディア的視点が、”伝統”に隠される未来へのヒントを覗く躙り口を開く。
Ryuko Furukawa views the Japanese tea ceremony as a medium connecting the old with the new, and Japan with the world. From this viewpoint she raises intriguing questions; could it be that the tea ceremony, described as an “art within daily life”, is at the root of technology’s present dedication to aesthetic details? Doesn’t the spirit of “ichizakonryu” (empathy between the host and guest) form the basis of our ideas about communication and media? Could Japan’s artistic tendency to condense elements be connected with modern design including the Bauhaus movement? Through her answers, we are led to discover within tradition the keys to our future.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world’s leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.
