Artists + Multinationals: A Dynamic Symbiosis Breeding New Values

Those who walk toward, striving for values and world views that no one has seen before, are true pioneers. Advanced technology can accelerate the realization of these vision. The close collaboration between artists, creators, and engineers has the potential to become catalysts for each other. New professions can emerge that transcend existing occupational boundaries.

That collective creativity has the great potential to bring new values to the society.
