Practising Beliefs: Visitors will see how these masters started new eras by acting on their personal hopes and beliefs. They will see philosophy shape design in real, visible ways.

Social Insights: Visitors see how objects and films reveal the qualities these pioneers used. This brings new social insights to the world. Visitors leave with a better understanding of the design's social role.

Education and Legacy: Several of these masters extended their work into teaching. Visitors will consider what these designers expected from their followers. They can also reflect on how to stay independent and proactive in their own creative paths.

從理念到行動：社會洞察與教育傳承

這些設計師不僅是美學的創造者，更是社會變革的推動者：

• 實踐信念：觀者將見證大師們如何將個人的希望與信念付諸行動，引領新時代的開啟，並觀察哲學如何以真實可見的方式塑造設計。

• 深刻的社會洞察：這些先驅者透過物品與影像展現了獨特的社會洞察力，引導觀者重新思考**設計的社會角色。

• 教育的延續：部分大師投身教育，致力於培養後進。展覽促使參觀者反思大師對後繼者的期望，以及如何在創作道路上保持獨立性與積極性。

‍

In an era of shifting values and mass information, the exhibition leads visitors to rethink design's purpose.

Searching for the Unknown: By looking back at the unforgettable activities of these six pioneers, the exhibition invites reflection. Visitors consider what lessons their achievements offer to contemporary society. The exhibition inspires them to pursue their own explorations into the unknown.

Interrogating Standpoints: The curation urges visitors to examine their creative standpoints, recognise that designing is inseparable from life, and reconsider their innovative practices in relation to their lives.

The exhibition also shares Shutaro Mukai's perspective. His friendships with Max Bill and Otl Aicher helped form the Science of Design in Japan. This highlights the value of human encounters.

‍

展覽特別分享了向井修太郎 (Shutaro Mukai)的視角。他與 Max Bill及 Otl Aicher 的深厚友誼，為日本「設計科學」 (Science of Design)奠定了基礎，這也進一步凸顯了跨國界人際互動對設計發展的價值。在當今社會，設計的角色日益擴大且深入。本次展覽不僅是回顧成就，更是一場激勵：

• 引發當代思考：回顧這些令人難忘的成就，是為了思考大師的精神能為當代社會提供什麼啟示，並激勵我們勇於探索未知領域。

• 審視自身立場：展覽引導觀者審視自身的創作立場，認清設計與生活密不可分，重新建立創新實踐與自身生活之間的聯繫。

In overview, this exhibition moves beyond mere object display. Instead, it merges the designers' "voices" with their "works." This approach prompts profound reflection on the future of life and society.

This experience is like a gallery. Instead of just reading a description, the artist stands beside their work to share the personal story behind every choice. This dual experience transforms the exhibits into living embodiments of the masters' spirits.

‍

這不僅是一場陳列，更是一次將設計師的「聲音」與「作品」融為一體的沉浸式體驗，帶領我們共同思考生活與社會的未來。

async–Immersion Tokyo

Based on Sakamoto's seminal album Async, this immersive installation brings his visionary music into the spatial realm.
