On 10-11 May, I have attended 2nd International Conference: Digital Culture & AudioVisual Challenges, Interdisciplinary Creativity in Arts and Technology at Ionian University, Corfu, Greece.
I gave an oral presentation on the First Color Digital Art x Lighting Symposium and Workshop held at SIT in March.
I just bought a used color chart: Color Dictionary, which indicates the price: 3,500 yen. The average starting salary in 1954 was around 10,000 yen. Thus 20 x 3,500 yen turns to be 70,000 yen. Still color charts are costly in nowadays.
On 14-17 March 2019, the International Symposium and Workshop was successfully held by Shibaura Institute of Technology, Assumption University and Kagawa University. These events were well attended from eight different countries and I would deeply like to appreciate their cooperation. Participants fully enjoyed visiting teamLab’s “Borderless”, International Symposium and Workshop. The Second Symposium/Workshop will be held in Assumption University, Bangkok.
On 14-17 March, 2019, the First Color Digital Art x Lighting International Symposium and Workshop will be held at Shibaura Institute of Technology, Shibaura Campus. The student representatives from SIT, Assumption University and Kagawa University will gather together at this international exchange workshop to create digital art.
On Saturday, 16 March at 3:30pm, we invite to the Symposium Mr. Joe Nattapol Suphawong (Photographer and Interactive Designer, Assumption University) and Mr. Jun Kosaka (Graphic and Space Designer, Waseda University) as guest speakers. Moderator is Kyoko Hidaka, Ph.D. (Color Theorist, Shibaura Institute of Technology). This is open to the public. The registration fee is: 2,000 Japanese yen. The on-line pre-registration is required at the website below. A networking meeting will follow after the Symposium from 17:00-18:30pm in the 3rd floor lounge.
From 10 Dec. until 21 Dec. 2018, Shibaura Institute of Technology Shibaura Campus displays the digital art at the entrance. It interactively greets in 40 different languages as someone passes by.
On this Wednesday, we had the critique of Fundamental Visual Communication Design. Students and faculty enjoyed exchanging thoughts and ideas on wonderful, interesting works.
Color Theory course at Omiya Campus invited Prof. Sunaga of Kyushu University School of Design as the special guest speaker. He gave a presentation on color universal design.
On the occasion of sightseeing in Akita, I am visiting the famous library of Akita International University. They’re now holding their university’s festival.
Color Theory and Fundamental Graphic Design in Omiya Campus had the first sessions today. I deeply thank for great support from Ms. Takada, Ms. Oba and Mr. Yamaguchi.
