東京での情報収集活動であります。午後から今回移動のメイン目的でしたが、その前に情報収集として写真のようなイベントに参観・傾聴しておりました。イベントの趣旨は以下の通り。
　〜この展覧会は、アカデミックな研究発表だけでなく、芸術の創造性から生まれた「作品やプロジェクトを展示」し学内に留まらず、企業や自治体などとの連携による社会実装を試みる活動が発信されます。美術・音楽・デザイン・科学技術など、幅広い分野の学生や教員、外部連携者が「ARTSの力」で未来を創造する試みを紹介する、非常に意欲的な展覧会。／主催 東京藝術大学 芸術未来研究場 監修 日比野克彦（東京藝術大学長 / 芸術未来研究場長）〜
　東京に来るとほぼ東京国立博物館などのある上野エリアを中心に散策する時間を持っていますが、最近はこちらの「藝大美術館」も時折探訪します。わたしの母校の高校は北海道有数の「東京藝大」進学校で、親しかった友人も入学していた。
　このイベントでは、同大卒業生たちの「芸術活動での起業」を目指す若者たちのコンセプト発表が行われるとのことだったので、強く惹かれていた次第。・・・案の定、若い感受性が、AIが大きく盛り上がりを見せている現代の環境の中で「きっと考えるだろうなぁ」と思える発表に聞き入っていた。SNSとAIがやはり刺激いっぱいの領域だということですね。
　わたし自身も絵を描くことが好きだったし、やがて映像を活用する領域ビジネスを続けてきているので、こういう若い可能性の発露には強い親近感を覚えさせられる。そのなかでも親和する領域についての発表者とは会話もさせていただけた。やはり藝大卒の若い人のナイーブでキラキラの感性と接触するのは、なかなか刺激的。具体的な領域特定の可能性も感じた。

　ということでしたが、きのうは天気もすばらしくあちこちと移動が広範囲にわたって、ホテルに着く頃にはごらんのような歩数。同年代の友人たちとも健康について分析論議しますが、体幹の強化にはやはり歩くのが一番でしょう。そして若い世代の感性に触れることは、精神的活力の最大の刺激要因。深まり行く首都圏の秋、行脚したいけど、まぁほどほども肝要（笑）かなぁ。

【Tokyo University of the Arts in the “Art Business” Field Utilizing AI】
The evolution of AI inevitably stimulates the realm of creativity. The raw, unfiltered expressions and presentations of young aspiring artists stimulate the mind. …

　This is an information-gathering activity in Tokyo. While the main purpose of this trip was scheduled for the afternoon, beforehand I attended and listened to an event like the one pictured as part of my information gathering. The event’s purpose is as follows:
~This exhibition not only presents academic research findings but also showcases “works and projects born from artistic creativity.” It aims to communicate activities that go beyond the university campus, seeking social implementation through collaboration with companies, local governments, and others. It is an ambitious exhibition introducing attempts by students, faculty, and external collaborators across diverse fields—including fine arts, music, design, and science and technology—to create the future using the “power of ARTS.” ／Organized by Tokyo University of the Arts, Art Future Research Lab
Supervised by Katsuhiko Hibino (President, Tokyo University of the Arts / Director, Art Future Research Lab)〜
When I visit Tokyo, I usually take time to stroll around the Ueno area, home to places like the Tokyo National Museum. Lately, I’ve also been exploring the “Geidai Museum” here occasionally. My high school alma mater was one of Hokkaido’s top preparatory schools for Tokyo University of the Arts, and a close friend of mine also enrolled there.
　This event featured concept presentations by young graduates aiming to “pursue entrepreneurship through artistic activities,” which strongly drew me in. …As expected, I found myself engrossed in presentations that reflected the kind of thinking one would expect from young sensibilities navigating today’s environment, where AI is booming. It really underscores how SNS and AI remain incredibly stimulating fields.
Having enjoyed drawing myself and later pursued a career in video-based business, I felt a strong affinity for these expressions of youthful potential. I even had the chance to speak with presenters whose fields aligned with mine. Connecting with the naive, sparkling sensibilities of young Tokyo University of the Arts graduates is genuinely stimulating. I sensed concrete possibilities for specific collaborations.

　That was the plan, but yesterday the weather was splendid and I ended up moving around quite extensively. By the time I reached the hotel, my step count was as you see here. I discuss health analysis with friends my age, and walking really is the best way to strengthen your core. And connecting with the sensibilities of younger generations is the greatest stimulus for mental vitality. As autumn deepens in the capital region, I want to keep traveling, but well, moderation is key (lol), I suppose.
