Senseware - Tokyo Fiber '09

This exhibition is an attempt to visualize some of the domains that the new SENSEWARE can open up. Ideas were sought from architects, designers of all ilks, automobile and electrical appliance manufacturers, media artists, and even a flower artist. It will be fascinating to see how many new possibilities emerge from this initiative. The exhibition represents an intersection of technology, materials, and talent, all oriented towards future manufacturing. Many senses will be stimulated here, but I very much hope that one thing every viewer will sense is a very real excitement for the future. more
