“What sort of creative environment do we live in?”
”What is the social role of artists or designers in such an environment?”

We aim to rethink the social roles of artists and designers in today’s creative environment. This exhibition shows the online customization services, innovative products of DIY communities, design and art works which using the current engineering or interface technology.

The development of digital fabrication opens its process to public. The concept of “Open source” spreads as highly cultural publicness, and creates the number of innovative products. And people feel happy to make something themselves. In other words, technological innovation changes our creative environment dramatically.

“Design” means a kind of scheme of interface with synthesizing the innovative network and the production system. In this scheme, artists and designers play very important roles as professionals who critically verify the potentials or vision of our environment, or as incubators who raise the creativity of co-creation through introducing their efforts to users. They are considered as the frontiers of the new world of creation.
