KMD Plenary Meeting 2026 “ANTI-AINXIETY: Co‑Creating Futures: The Human Hand in Hybrid Systems”
The Keio University Graduate School of Media Design (KMD) Plenary 2026, themed “ANTI-AINXIETY: Co‑Creating Futures: The Human Hand in Hybrid Systems,” is set to gather all KMD LABs and projects at Shibuya QWS on May 29th. The core purpose of the event is to address fears of technological disruption by making visible how KMD’s media, design, and technology experiments keep human agency, judgment, and imagination central as active collaborators—designers, storytellers, and choreographers—in hybrid human–machine systems.  The main KMD Plenary Meeting is scheduled from 17:00 (doors open at 16:30) to 19:20, followed by the KMD Info Session starting at 19:30. access: https://shibuya-qws.com/en/about/outline
