The Garaman Digital Creative Meeting is a one-day event where you can meet questions and surprises to anticipate the world changed by digital culture. Speakers that follow the theme each time will deepen their learning and consideration of the theme from the three-part composition of watching, listening, and speaking. A total of 3 times are scheduled for 2022.

In a rapidly changing world, what will we see and where are we heading in 2050? Hints to think about the future are visible and hidden in the interaction between art and technology that is attracting attention now. For the first time to think about 30 years ahead, Tosa Nobumichi, the representative of the art unit “Maywa Denki,” which works across various genres, will be welcomed as a speaker.
In the style of a small and medium-sized enterprise that supported Japan's high economic growth, Tosa Nobumichi is active freely domestically and internationally, not only presenting works through exhibitions and live performances, but also skipping hits of mass products . About 30 years ago, in the early 1990s, two older brothers started expressive activities under the name of Maywa Denki, which is his father's company that actually existed. Looking back on the trajectory of 30 years, I think about the world of 2050, 30 years from now, while unraveling the relationship between art that creates one from scratch and technology as a means and tool.

●Watch 13:00-13:45
Watch a live performance by Maywa Denki, where the work is called a “product” live is a “product demonstration.” The door to the heart is open!

● Listen 14:00-15:30
Where is the starting point for a wide range of activities, from art to entertainment? Listen to Nobumichi Tosa's past 30 years and future prospects.

● Speak 15:45 ~ 17:00
The participatory discussion “Maywa Denki's Spark One Shot Radio” will be broadcast live on YouTube. While answering letters from the internet, we will delve into the theme together with the venue. A unique idea and a stylish talk.
