This symposium is held at the NTT Inter Communication Center [ICC] which recently reopened under the concept of “Art x Communication = Open!”. The talk session will serve as a space to discuss how Art and Communication can be updated around the idea of Openness, how the relationship between the ‘artists’ and the ‘audience’ could be redefined and what could be the possible consequences of the massive opening and sharing of creative processes.
Guest panelists include the social artist Noboru Tsubaki (UNboy, Radikal Dialogue), art strategist Kiyoshi Kusumi (ex-editor in chief of the monthly “BT” magazine), translator of numerous "Open-Source/ Creative Commons" related texts Hiroo Yamagata, with Dominick Chen (director of ICC's open video archive, HIVE) as the moderator. Furthermore, this first edition's exhibiting artist Takumi Endo will also participate in the discussion.
