Shiga Future Design Project is an endeavor to apply the perspective of Data Art & Science (DAS) to the search for new forms of local revitalization in Shiga Prefecture. PAPERSKY joined the journey and previously presented four stories covering DAS local projects in Maibara<\/a>, Nagahama<\/a>, Takashima<\/a>, and Otsu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shiga Future Thinking Week, held from March 28 to April 6, 2025, featured activity reports on the DAS local projects plus contents such as installations, workshops, and talk sessions around the concept of a \u201cwater centric\u201d approach to exploring Shiga\u2019s multiple potential futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event took place at the DAS Center, occupying the site of the former Shiga Bank Hikone Branch along Hikone Ginza Shopping Street.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


One of the organizers, Hideaki Ogawa of Ars Electronica Futurelab, says, \u201cDAS seeks to use data sets from Shiga for local revitalization, innovation, education, and literacy development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope the DAS Center will be the prototype of a base that will serve as the creative engine of Shiga\u2019s tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAS Caf\u00e9, a food truck outside the venue, served three original coffee blends using water from the Hira, Ibuki, and Suzuka mountains and coffee beans roasted to complement the different water properties. Enjoying the coffee prepared based on data inspired the drinkers to recognize the richness of the water and culture of Lake Biwa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On two days, a restaurant nearby was chartered for invited guests to serve as a DAS Restaurant, (probably) the world\u2019s first endeavor to cook and eat data, in this case themed around the waters of the Echi River in Omihachiman City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course began with a tasting of two different waters, from the farthest upstream and the farthest downstream from Lake Biwa. Each course was served with a slip of paper indicating the nitrogen level, transparency, and other properties of the water used in the dish, in Hare and Ke (special and ordinary) bowls with charts showing happiness levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having consumed the dishes made with ingredients from Shiga together with the various data on Shiga, and enjoyed the meal with all five senses, the participants took part in a historical moment in the novel approach to understanding the world through DAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new meal format may have caused some confusion in the beginning,\u201d says Hideaki, \u201cBut as the course went on, the participants became better at reading the data, and I could tell they enjoyed the fresh stimulation. I believe that experience will stay with them and inspire them to question the status quo, look at things from a different angle, change the way they perceive the world\u2014and that\u2019s the literacy needed for building Shiga\u2019s multiple potential futures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant\u2019s background music was performed live by members of Ars Electronica, mixing the sound of the water in Lake Biwa and the sound of stones from Lake Biwa being dropped into that water.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The DAS Center was set up exclusively for this event, but having a physical space helped form a clearer picture than words alone of the significance of DAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat can we do with DAS? Innovation, education, incubation\u2014DAS can contribute to all of that. This event clearly generated that positive feeling,\u201d says Hideaki. \u201cMoving forward, the question is how do we translate that feeling into permanent activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Data science tends to sound cold and inorganic, but the introduction of an artistic perspective puts the organic back into focus. The event was a success in demonstrating that\u2014the significance of DAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different cook could follow the same recipe and make a surprisingly different dish. Likewise, someone might have a different use in mind for the data from the DAS Restaurant. There are myriad ways to express any given data set\u2014it\u2019s all up to the person making use of the data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where DAS can contribute into the future. From ideas and prototypes to projects already in progress, Shiga Future Thinking Week presented the possibilities of Data Art & Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efforts to revitalize local economies could be filled with promise and hope by focusing on throwing fresh light on the rich, unique climate and discovering new, unrecognized value\u2014that was the starting point of Shiga Future Design Project. The project for exploring Shiga Prefecture\u2019s tomorrow with data is a three-way collaboration between Shiga University, the first institution of its kind in Japan to establish a faculty of data science; Ars Electronica Futurelab, an Austria-based cultural organization specializing in media art; and Toyota Coniq Alpha, Inc. (*integrated into Toyota Conic Pro, Inc. in April 2025.), a company that uses data to shape the future. The local university will serve as a hub and work with the local residents and corporate partners to use the local data and create local happiness. To this end, the first step is to visit the people based in the local community who are already taking action for the future.
