【Inspiration】Inspired by the line “Joy is not the fire of youth — it’s the ember that still glows,” from Kelly Eldridge Boesch’s evocative AI music video, this poem grew out of the quiet emotion it stirred in me.

【記憶】TeleAbsence between Amber and Ember

消えてゆくものは、失われるのではない。
アンバー *amber*(琥珀)は、過去の光を記憶し、
エンバー *ember* (残り火)は、遠い日の温もりを憶えている。
そのあいだに「テレアブセンス」が息づく——
そこには、過去の存在が放った輝きがあり、
失われたものの静かな余韻がある。

この変化は、人類の存在理由の柱と考えられてきた「独創性・創造性」の意味を根底から揺さぶっています。本講演では、米国 マサチューセッツ工科大学(MIT)メディアラボで30年にわたりヒューマン・コンピュータ・インタラクション(HCI)の研究と教育に携わってきた立場から、研究・教育、そして人間の創造性が今どのように再定義されつつあるのかを提示し、未来に向けた問いを皆さんと共に探ります。」
