R&D stories from the art scene
Art provides us with insights that we have not been able to perceive before. In his book "Art Thinking: How to Enhance People's Happiness through Business and Art," Takeshi Akimoto, former director of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and many other museums, likens artists to "canaries in a coal mine. Akimoto says, "They are the first to see what many people cannot yet see with their own eyes, hear what they cannot yet hear, and convey what cannot be expressed in language in the form of shapes and images. In other words, if we can unravel the original theme of the artwork, we can apply it to cutting-edge research and development material.
