Japan in Milano, emotional technology

2009 Milano’s session gave Japan a major place for exhibitions. The rare ode to lightness reached then was sensible in two places at the Triennale of design. It hosted Kenya Hara’s scenography, the Tokyo Fiber Senseware, which gathered famous names in art, architecture and design, around an experimentation on nanofiber materials in search of applications. These futuristic objects, thanks to their mobility seemed quite alive. The other exhibition, the Japan Design Selection, was presenting an everyday accessible conception, little life helpers, with new items to communicate, travel and work. Getting back to some visionary ideas.

Le laboratoire, a dreams producer

The future may be happening... now! It is the proposal of any event host by the unusual space Le Laboratoire in Paris. It mixes together scientists to artists, and here also architecture, the agency R&Sie(n) runned by François Roche, to give an orientation of what could be the concept of programmation for individual inhabitats if only we could get their intimate language information. In a few words, the quest is to be able to read the inside affects, what body tells, called from Hyppocrate Les Humeurs. For the visitor, an enjoyable experiment is to be taken already, lasting to May 16th.
