Power of Color | Exploring Colors with Sebastian Masuda & James Meraz
Renowned for his dazzling artworks, Sebastian Masuda shared how color factors into his artistic process, how it’s a key part of kawaii culture, and how it transcends mere style to become a dynamic language of emotion, identity, and cultural expression.
Masuda’s insights and candid stories took the audience on a journey through the rich history of color in Japan, as he blended timeless sensibilities with his own innovative spin on tradition. Viewers also learned how he breathes new life into these elements, forging powerful connections between the past and present in his art, and how bold color palettes can expand creativity and resonate emotionally as well as aesthetically.
In addition to the artist Masuda, Professor James Meraz from the ArtCenter College of Design joined as a guest speaker. With his expertise in Spatial Experience Design and a wealth of experience in cultural exchanges with Japanese art and design institutions, Professor Meraz led an illuminating conversation with Masuda about the cultural significance of color in art across cultures and historical eras.
This webinar was held as an exhibition-related program.

      I haven't seen any of season two yet apart from the trailer and I'm already hoping it'll be renewed for season three. I hope season two will be available to watch in the UK soon as it hurts knowing season two just finished streaming on Max last week and it's completely unavailable on any UK streaming service or TV channel at the moment. Hopefully the BBC will pick up season two eventually like they did with season one, just hoping I don't have to wait too long to continue watching this great show; here's to season three!

    I hope future Toho projects can find their way to the same level of success and notoriety... this guy brings a vibe that is absolutely missing "Modern Hollywood"... I'm sure our directors look at this guy with a bit of envy... getting to create without the crushing weight of a billion dollar box office expectation, and endless studio tampering... and he completely leans into his VFX role, and gives his team proper recognition, where we are actively trying to hide our VFX's artists contribution out of some ridiculous shame... Thanks for the interview upload, toho has been pretty reserved with bonus features on their physical releases here in the US, so this definitely helps fill that void for this wonderful movie!

    I was finally able to visit this exhibition last week and every sculpture is completely and totally amazing on its own. The video does no justice to showcase the sheer genius behind every single one of them, if anyone is hesitating to visit, or maybe has to do a special trip to do so I highly encourage you to do it before the exhibition goes away, I will probably do one or two more visits (if not more) to truly appreciate it as much as possible. Thank you very much to the organizers, Japan house and the artists for bringing this exhibition to pokemon fans!

    Not a single utterance of the term Rhizosphere. Is the need to patent a solution so great that it's worth risking complete failure attempting to reverse engineer a natural system of Carbon Storage with over a billion years of iteration? Because if not, you can sequester carbon by processing organic waste through worms and layering their castings over diminished soil mixes with organic litter like paper and leaves. There's no need for technology. Just human hands and a dignified career as a Solar Carbon Farmer. And the potential ROI in providing a future and stable Modern Family Farm Lifestyle for millions of children is dramatically higher than any technology that has ever been patented. So why waste all this time and effort trying to develop technology to replace a perfectly free natural system that can be charged up with carbon with unskilled human labor, literally anywhere on the planet? Isn't it too late to develop and deploy technology on any scale that could matter anyway? Life knows how to globally scale. Life IS a Carbon Battery. Why not partner with Families, Farmers, and Life instead of whoever these companies are trying to extract "green tax" revenue?

However, bamboo grows incredibly fast. The possibilities for bamboo are endless when you think about its various uses. This is what I wanted to convey in this webinar.
