10th Anniversary takemura-juku 2023 × DOMMUNE
Methodology of Playing with Fiction and Reality – How Can Reality Be Edited?

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Takemura-juku, which started in 2013. Over the past 10 years we, together with a total of over 3,000 participants, have considered how technology can be used to address current and future challenges: Transmedia, Artificial Intelligence, Crypto-anarchy, the Broken Internet, Hippie Capitalism, Privacy, the Autonomous Revolution, Digital Nomad, and more, we have always reported and discussed technology and cultural foresight.
Looking back over the past 10 years of Takemura-juku, three special guests will join us for the 10th anniversary Takemura-juku, “The Methodology of Playing with Fiction and Reality: How Can Reality Be Edited? This is the overall theme of the 10th anniversary Takemura-juku, which will consider the editability of reality in today’s society of playing with fiction and reality , based on Japanese culture, which has found possibilities in the middle of fiction and reality, while at the same time realizing the reality in the fiction.
It will be held for three consecutive days starting on December 13, and will be a collaboration with DOMMUNE as in the previous year. The first session will feature hypermedia creator Tsuyoshi Takashiro, the second session will feature Seigo Matsuoka, founder of the Editorial Engineering Laboratory CO., Ltd, and the third session will feature media artist Yoichi Ochiai as main guests, with DOMMUNE representative Naohiro Ukawa and young creators and editors also participating in each session.
The future of media and content, the rapid assault of technology such as AI, and the renaissance of the 21st century are just a few of the diverse topics to be discussed. This will be a valuable time to discuss the necessity of delaying technology as seen through media aesthetics, as well as the possibilities of “editing” the society of playing with fiction and reality.
Each session will start at 19:00, and those who watch live at SUPER DOMMUNE Studio (Shibuya PARCO 9F, limited to 33 people) will also be able to attend a reception held in the studio after the talk program! In addition, online viewing will be unlimited. All videos will be available for viewing for two weeks (there will be no video feed of the reception). Below is a summary of the overall and individual themes and programs, and we hope you will join us for Takemura-juku’s memorable 10th anniversary.

We look forward to your participation.

We are already living in a new paradigm. The old rules no longer apply. Globalism has been replaced by three spheres. The East, the West, and the digital sphere. These three spheres are not limited to any particular country or region. Some people believe that Japan belongs to the Western sphere and is a unique civilization. However, each sphere has been based on different “civilizing” technologies by nature.

East: ideograms/ hieroglyphs ideo/pictographs
West: the alphabet
Digital binary code (binary code)

These three spheres are incapable of interacting with each other at the most basic level. The conflicts and tensions surrounding this three-body problem are a world metaphorically described by Chinese science fiction writer Cixin Liu, where the path to equilibrium and dialogue is very limited.

At the same time, politics and economics are changing dramatically, and there will be no return to “normal. Robots are rapidly replacing human workers, and AI is rapidly evolving.

Institutions in which trust has been severely eroded are dysfunctional, and we need to understand the digital paradigm, which is very different from the dominance of television since the late 20th century. In the context of the digital paradigm, institutions are transformed, reformed, and changed. As Dorothy once said in The Wizard of Oz, “I don’t believe we’re in Kansas anymore” – “We’re not in Kansas anymore. We’re not in Kansas anymore”.

In the final installment of the #exodus series, I’ll be speaking with Mark Stahlman, director of the Center for the Study of Digital Life, who has been predicting the future of digital society since the dawn of the Internet, and who continues to point out the inherent influence of Marshall McLuhan and Norbert Winner. Mark Stahlman, who has foreseen the future of digital society since the dawn of the Internet and has pointed out the inherent influence of Marshall McLuhan and Norbert Winner, will be our special guest.

What is the digital exodus from the massive phenomenon of the digital nomad, the distributed dropout that pervades the creator economy? Is the digital society going to be conquered by transhumanism? Can existing states and governments be reconstructed on a human scale to withstand the digital age? With a new perspective on the world as a three-body problem, and with an eye on the governance of the future we choose, we will look at the essential issues facing digital society.

The Creator Economy is a $104.2 billion economy built by 50 million independent creators worldwide, from bloggers to influencers, YouTubers to writers, who monetize their characters, skills, or content. This means an economy of scale. This is expected to grow to several trillion dollars in the future. What supports the growing creator economy is an ecosystem that allows people to monetize their content more directly.
In addition to the creator economy, blockchain, cryptocurrency, the green revolution, remote work, micro-schools, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), and the metaverse are all currently in the spotlight. What do they all have in common? They all have one thing in common: they all involve people disengaging from the existing “legacy systems,” or institutions that have been in place for a long time. The decentralized dropout from the monetary system, big banks, mass media, industrial education, and the 9 to 5 rat race is indicative of a movement of economic individualism in which people are trying to reclaim their own sovereignty.
The new focus of the creator economy is that exodus from existing institutions is accompanied by a growing number of tools and connections, including blockchain-based trust systems, next-generation social networking platforms, co-working spaces, and online communities This is what I mean.With accelerating investment in new platforms and tools to support creators’ individual economic activities, is the Creator Economy a passing trend or a revolution in economic individualism? We will consider this question with guests from Romania, Berlin and Tokyo.

During the course of the corona pandemic, many people realized that they could actually be working anywhere in the world. At the same time, misguided policy decisions led to a decline in public trust in governments and institutions. And decentralized technology is enabling a whole new form of human cooperation. What does this mean for the creation of DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) and cyber states, which are being touted as the next revolution after social media, and the rise of digital nomads who are driving them? The keynote speech by digital nomad strategist Lauren Razavi will be followed by a discussion with other guests.
Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2021, 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Organizer: takemura-juku 2021 Secretariat
Sponsor: Parsol Career Co.

“THE NEW CONTEXT CONFERENCE” is a conference to discuss “new context” for a sustainable society, and has been attended by many industry celebrities, startup founders, and researchers. This time, it will be a hybrid event with talks by speakers that are livestreamed to an online audience.
The theme of this year, which is the 21st time since the first conference in 2005, is “Earthshot” Whole Earth 2021 @Tokyo ~ Half Century Since Whole Earth Catalog: Shaping the Future with Technology ~.

We are honored to have Stewart Brand as a keynote speaker, who is the founder of the legendary book the Whole Earth Catalog, which is the philosophical foundation of the Internet revolution.
