9+1


9+1 is a creative collective based in Japan which goal is to create future possibilities of traditional craft. The story of 9+1 started from the “Kogei Hackathon”, an unconventional hackathon, where 9 creators met to imagine and create the future possibility of craft in Takaoka, Toyama. The team is diverse and multidisciplinary; an artists, scientist, fashion designer, product designer, traditional lacquerware craftsman, product planner and programmer came together to experiment the future potential of Japanese crafts in a modern context, with regard to advanced technology.

This exhibition is composed of multiple interactive pieces which invite the audience to experience and rediscover the beauty and novel function of traditional making technique from Japan, when met with new ideas and modern technology.
