Panel Discussion

Sat Sep 7, 2019, 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
All times are given in Central European Time (CET / UTC +1).
POSTCITY, OPEN FUTURELAB
After the panel discussion, there will be a small ceremony in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Austro-Japanese friendship.

What is the future of playfulness? How can we work on this future in the present, in the midst of our current societies? At the Panel Discussion FUNGUAGE – the FUN spirit in the future, these questions will be examined, using the example of a shared research project between BANDAI NAMCO Research Inc., Hakuhodo and the Ars Electronica Futurelab – FUNGUAGE. FUNGUAGE is a new form of language that enables humans and non-living material to communicate more effectively, creating a speculative scenario that uses FUN as a universal language, transcending cultural boundaries.

Additionally to the panel discussion, the current research progress and insights are shown at the FUNGUAGE ROOM at the OPEN FUTURELAB.
