ふり返り
Both of in the part of seminar and workshop, participants and speakers discussed a variety of issues. One of the main issues in the seminar part was the comparision among different types of media systems developed by Storyplacing. Storyplacing developed mainly two systems: Telephonoscope and Maptionnaire. Telephonoscope encouraged people to express their personal memories as narratives. On the other hand, Maptionnare provided the visualization of neighborhood opinions. Another important issue in the workshop part was the discussion about theoretical significance of the design of society.
