Super Flying Tokyo 2019 is series of forum and event sessions where world-leading creators gather to explore augmentation of “driving force of innovative creativity” by imagining its near future of digital creative world from Tokyo.
We predict that possibilities for next generations of creativity will be assured by merging creative oriented mind and contents management at a higher level. But it is questionable if the environment and infrastructure for creation are fully provided. In other words, do awareness of the results of those creative challenges and the ripple effect of education prevail enough publically in the society? In the era of deformation and transition in any field, SFT 2019 will introduce various approaches from all over the world as model cases demonstrating specification of current problems, organization for problem-solving, collaboration, and crossover of styles. Creators find increasing importance of open environment of co-creation and sharing it publicly for realization of creativity and the bigger object of diverse society. The talk session of SFT 2019 will not only focus on those social topics from the context of art and creation but also discuss such themes as crossing of specialized researches relating science and advanced technologies and close relationships of businesses, industries, and urban planning together with opinions from specialists of each field to share current problems. Lets finds our next steps and share a bigger picture together.
