■ Good Job! Digital Factory&Volume DAO Visiting Yamakoshi
On March 6, team members from "Good Job! Digital Factory," a Japanese social care NFT project, and members from "Volume DAO" from Taiwan have visited Yamakoshi on March 12. We’d love to thank you all for visiting us from far away in this cold season! Hope you enjoyed it.
Anyway, Good Job! Digital Factory is an NFT project designed to create new careers and cultures in society for people who have disabilities through art and blockchain technology. They released their first collection in a couple month ago, GoodJobSan.
For digital villagers, a return trip to Yamakoshi is not just a trip, but a unique opportunity to find a sense of their identity, interact with fellow villagers, and most importantly, feel connected to the community. We enjoy spending time visiting a Nishikigoi farm, socializing with local villagers, and enjoying the beautiful snow.
The government of Taiwan has made Web3 technology one of its national strategies and is now becoming one of the centers of Web3 in Asia. Volume DAO is a Tezos blockchain-based NFT collector group, the first of its kind in Taiwan. They actively work not only on collecting but also on organizing exhibitions and social programs.
"Our backgrounds in each community and language are perhaps different, but I felt that we all share the same fundamental spirit. I found it truly appreciated that DAO to DAO, people to people, connecting people across countries and regions, is truly a blessing, and it is really fun." (Haruka Takeuchi: Nishikigoi NFT founder, Neo Yamakoshi Village)
■ Art Thinking Improbable Workshop
Art Thinking Improbable Workshop is a workshop that combines art thinking and business thinking. Art Thinking is a way of thinking that takes inspiration from the creative process of artists to help solve problems and create new ideas. The workshop is designed to help participants fully exercise their minds and hands, develop their creativity, ask questions of themselves, and find clues and practices for an "improbable" future.
*This workshop will be hosted in Tokyo.
■ Art for Well-being
Today, March 15, "Art for Well-being: The Future of Expression, Care and Technology" opens at Civic Creative Base Tokyo (CCBT). Creators, engineers, and people in the social service field who have been involved in various experimental projects come together to explore future possibilities and directions while sharing the challenges and expectations at this point in time.
<What is this event?>
Art for Well-being is a project to rethink technology from the perspective of art and health care, and to expand the possibilities of them. The project is intended to provide a way for people to continue to create and express themselves regardless of their physical or mental changes, such as illness, accident, aging, or disability.
