Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, a new creative hub for people, \u201cCivic Creative Base Tokyo\uff3bCCBT\uff3d,\u201d emerged in Shibuya. CCBT is aimed at transforming Tokyo into a better city through creativity and technology, creating ideas towards this goal together with members of the public.
\u201cArt as Catalyst\u201d will explore the relationship between art and innovation through \u201cArs Electronica Inspiration,\u201d a program introducing citizen-driven creative projects from CCBT partner and world-renowned creative institute Ars Electronica, and through talk sessions with players active in Japan\u2019s creative and startup scene.
Besides their modish aspect, innovations in material and technology catalyzed by artists propose a model for a sustainable co-existential future with a diverse range of people.
What constitutes civic creativity, in which the public explores its creative imagination in society?
What is the role of art in accelerating innovation?
How can we create an economic cycle benefitting society?
From the setting of this place, where we contemplate and envision a sustainable future together, we explore the future of civic creativity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Biosmocking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biosmocking, is a textile-modeling method for creating three-dimensional textures, utilises digital fabrication to precisely control the super contraction property of specially-tailored Brewed Protein\u2122\ufe0f textiles, and makes it possible to bring an entirely new sense of depth to garments. Experimentation with numerous prototypes and fabrication techniques have further improved this production process, resulting in the ability to create three-dimensional textures as well as modify the shape of the material itself. By this technology, we can produce garments that fits each individuals, without generating losses in textile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SCREENDRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 3D printed dress with embedded screens fosters a tech-mediated connection between the wearer and their surroundings. It’s driven by the wearer’s subconscious brain signals, captured by an advanced EEG sensor called ‘Unicorn Headband’ in collaboration with g.tec that forms a wearable brain-computer interface. Machine learning gauges the wearer’s mental workload and visualizes it on six circular displays on the dress’s neckpiece. As the workload intensifies, the displays simulate dilating eyes, creating an otherworldly effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
