Profile:
After working as a COE researcher at Kyoto University in 2003 and as an assistant at the Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo in 2004, he became a full-time lecturer at the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, Keio University in 2005, an associate professor in 2008, and a professor in 2016.
In 2010, he was a visiting researcher at the Department of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 2012, he established and headed the Social Fabrication Lab at the Keio Research Institute at SFC, Keio University.
In 2011, he established FabLab Kamakura, and in 2013, he chaired the executive committee of the 9th World FabLabo Conference in Yokohama.
Member of “New Manufacturing Review Committee”, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), 2013.
Chairperson of “Investigation Committee for Designing the Infrastructure of Fab Society”, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), 2014.
He specializes in supporting creativity by linking 3D and networks, and more specifically, pioneering exploration of the possibilities of digital fabrication.
He is in charge of the production of the permanent exhibition “Factory Area” in the Japan Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025.
Summary:
Coming Soon!
Profile:
After studying design at Kyoto Institute of Technology and its graduate school, he worked as product designer at KEYENCE CORPORATION.
He then engaged in research activities and in-house product development centered on digital fabrication at YOKOITO Inc.
In 2020, he established Shinkougeisha, incorporated in 2023.
He explores the nature of objects in the modern world at the interface between computers and the physical world, as created by digital fabrication. Born in 1989.
Summary:
As he was a very ordinary design student, he encountered 3D printers in the early days of reprap, and as he explored their uses, he became convinced that this was a "new craft.
Eventually, he stopped calling himself a 'designer' and gave his own practice the name 'SHINKOGEI' and began operating as 'SHINKOGEISYA'.
At a time when resin, a material that symbolizes mass production, is finally transforming into a craft-like existence,
we feel it is necessary to reexamine the role of the 'designer' profession, which is responsible for planning prior to mass production.
This is also an activity to fundamentally reconsider and reconstruct what it means to 'making things' by looking back at the transition of Japanese crafts since the Meiji era and the origins of postwar design.
The relationship between the body and technology, the connection between creation and labor, which has been lost due to the division of labor and systemization.
This is an attempt to reconstruct them once again through the use of one's own hands and practices.
