Yesterday, I showed the newsletter I distributed to two of my English conversation teachers, and they both found it very educational and highly appreciated it. I, myself, was deeply moved by the fact that Impressionist painters evolved their styles with the advancement of science and tools, and how the sharing of that knowledge contributed to the development of art.
I also touched upon the phrase “cognitive revolution.” After looking back at Mr. Inoko’s interview videos and watching a new one that was just released yesterday, I felt that his discussions consistently revolved around the “cognitive revolution.” From its inception to the present, he seems to maintain a steadfast central axis, based on which he continues to work.
In a YouTube video I watched yesterday, Yusuke Narita served as the interviewer and posed the question, “Why, despite art often being limited to specific enthusiasts, does teamLab enjoy support from a diverse audience?” Mr. Inoko’s response was not direct, but it was an interesting point. While there is debate about whether teamLab can be called “art,” setting that aside, the popularity of teamLab is undeniable. Just like Impressionist Van Gogh, who enjoys widespread popularity, the interest in teamLab is of a different nature. It is said that one in ten foreign visitors to Japan visits teamLab.
Reflecting on why I want to visit again, it’s because I seek the sparkling experience that the place offers, akin to being in outer space. In that space, where it’s unclear where boundaries lie, I feel deeply moved by my existence among the beautiful moving lights. It’s the new experiences, new discoveries I crave.
The art of listening, or “The Art of Listening,” can also be considered a form of art. By learning new ways to ask questions, techniques for feedback, and the power of listening, our cognition changes. Consequently, the world changes, and so do our actions. In essence, our lives change.
Listening skills can be “learned.” Especially for me, the desire to improve my listening skills led me to start learning coaching. The transformation before and after learning coaching was like becoming a different person. Even my mother was surprised by this change.
Through Mr. Inoko’s interview, I felt that I too have a role to play in creating a cognitive revolution.
