Beyond the Frame: Causality, Responsibility, and the Creation of a New Future

What was discussed

The session discussed what should be reexamined in order to create something new without being bound by existing assumptions. It explained the difference between changing the position from which one views things and changing the very framework that serves as the standard of judgment. It pointed out the cycle in which assumptions are fixed by education and institutions and even new information is interpreted under the same assumptions, and discussed the need to recheck the source and observations behind generalized explanations. The idea of regarding responsibility not as blame but as recognizing oneself as the cause of things, and connecting it to action and creation, was presented.

About this session

BAD, Michael Jackson's globally acclaimed album. Christopher Currell, who took part in its production and world tour, is also a player who has kept connecting the technology of the synthesiser with the sensibility of the artist, alongside his guitar. Intuition and sensibility; AI and technology. How can these two resonate with each other? A special session in which he shares that thinking at its highest level, holding nothing back. [Simultaneous interpretation into Japanese is provided for this session.]
