Anyway, I'm writing a book with another person, and we plan to usematerials from the art mix flower Web site in our CD-ROM supplement to thebook (with the approval of the participants, of course). The CD-ROM and bookshould be included in two weeks. Please join quickly. (Recently, many womenhave participated in our interactive site, although we don't know why.) Furthermore, don't forget to join sensorium, too! I run "kiss-jp.com" sitemyself. Please try other pages, too. I will write a comment on sensorium onthe page in the future. |

09:15 August 13, 1996 staff sensoriumTo: GabyThank you Gaby for telling us your problems.Our sensorium uses frame functions of Netscape, so some types of machines might often cause errors.We are planning to renovate sensorium in Autumn, and we believe that it will radically solve the present problems. High bandwidth is used for the higher quality of RealAudio sounds. However, recently there are some applications for low bandwidth that provide the same level of sound quality as when using high bandwidth, so we will shift to low bandwidth gradually. Regarding your question about the Beeper page, the page is still under construction. We apologize that we did not clarify that the cover page is just a notice for the forthcoming Beeper page.As soon as possible, we will try to solve the problems one by one, including log-in errors, so please visit again. | |

02:54, July 17, 1996 staff sensoriumWe believe the term "new sense" was flawed because it was too abstract. However, we have tried in our own way to create the things that we thought would be good if on the Net. With the concept pages and other things that we have written, it was very difficult to find the right expression that created the image etc., that we were trying to convey. It is a fact of the creative process that we came to know very well. However, as the Expo continues we also are continuing to create a variety of contents. So, stay tuned please! | |

18:16, July 16, 1996
It's funny, isn't it, the way that no matter what kind of look one is trying for, what kind of appearance, the difference between that and the reality when it is created is remarkable. Also, in the explanation of this pavilion in the Japan pavilion's home directory, the term "seeking new sense" is written, however, where is the new sense? I believe that there is nowhere in the pavilion that a sense different to our five senses or feelings appears. |

Then I saw one of my favourite writers, Natsuki Ikezawa, was also participating in sensorium. What a great page I've stumbled across!! I'm thrilled! Personally, I think that Ikezawa is today's Miyazawa. Coming across them in this way gives me a strange feeling of destiny. By the way, even though I don't think I'm that good at expressing what I want to say, I have launched my own home page and if people were kind enough to look at it and get a good feeling from it, I would be happy. In this net society, I want to progress with the net while considering the potential of the self and other things. |

Recently, many friends started to grow herbs at home, and they happily talked about it on and on. As you said, we must proactively try to gain something.

translated at: Sun 5 22:22 JST 1996Just as the ecology label is attached to gasoline tanks nowadays, the word "healing" has been stripped of all its meaning and sounds cheap. For me, "sense" as the sensoriumユs key word seems the same. The current Jusen problems result from saving the agricultural-financial organizations. We live in an age where the characteristics of farmers have changed. Are farmers still using their five senses for their work? I heard that if farmers do not follow the plans of the agricultural cooperative association with regard to sowing seeds, manuring, spraying pesticide and weed killer, the association will not finance seeds buying next year. I saw some rice paddies ruined by a bulldozer to be used as land for other crops, but paddies were left as they were until the owners received money from the government, then they were turned into land for building houses. People engaged in agricultural work call it improving soil. How much information from their daily work do those farmers gain, compared with others like Internet users? They cultivate money, not soil. If we do not proactively try to gain something, including from the Internet, we would not gain anything. |

Apr. 8, 1996 01:39 (Japan) From: Ogawa translated at: Fri Apr 19 15:58:55 JST 1996 The linked senses: What I wanted to do in the linked senses was to be a "evangelist" like Guy Kawasaki. I made a black and white Stack, which is quite well made for "adult" computer art. I wanted my friends, who have computer allergies, to share my enthusiasm on the Mac with it. What I have more than Guy Kawasaki is age. Sometimes age really "talks"! I think the speed of Net development is slow. If the speed of Net development remains the same as it is now, we will have to born once more. You might know the monolith from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is what the home page is. In the near future, the monolith will be created in the same numbers as there are human beings. I believe that the monolith will amplify my dreams! We are trying to expand the "web" strings, but I don't think our first priority is to either acquire more information or get to know a different world via the Net. It's a basic instinct. We are eager to create a whole new world. Nobody can stop it. Throughout human history, we have fouled and wasted GAIA, the goddess in Greek myth, which we now use to represent the earth as an ecosystem. Because of the unconscious sense of sin resulting from this, the speed with which Net technology is spreading is increasing. Do you doubt this? If you do not believe that there is a connection between this sense of sin and the speed of the spread of Net technology, someone should have said, "Just stop any disputes?" We are not so naive any more. The only thing we can do is to expand "web" strings, or link with somebody. |

Apr. 5, 1996 07:16 (Japan) translated at: Fri Apr 19 15:53:52 JST 1996 Tulip? I didn't think the flower bulb was a tulip. What I like in the sensorium is the motif of "plant" in the linked senses. I feel so calm and good, and as if time went so slowly when I read it. I guess the reason I feel this way is probably because of Bruce's photos. It's good to read like this on the Net, and of course, I enjoy contents that feature advanced technologies. Anyway, I sympathize with all who work till late but I would like you to keep on going. |

Apr. 4, 1996 23:49 (Japan) translated at: Fri Apr 19 15:53:26 JST 1996 From: "sensorium" staff I heard that the Kurashiki Public Access Point is very good. We would like to thank you, too. To the person who sent a message from Kyoto: As we used to observe the growth of flower bulbs suspended in water at primary school, I thought the bulb was a hyacinth, too. But by now, you might realize that it is a tulip! | |

Apr. 4, 1996 05:46 (Japan) translated at: Fri Apr 19 15:52:07 JST 1996 Hello, I have noticed that the hyacinth on the top page has grown, and I'm so impressed with how the sensorium has grown so quickly--faster than the speed with which the hyacinth grows. I feel as if the passion of the sensorium staff on this site was emanating from the display! I expect this site will probe deeper, expanding the area of each subject. By the way, can you tell me of any plans to set up Public Access Points in Kyoto where I live? There are many Public Access Points in Osaka, but it's a bit far for me to escape from my work! |

Sun Mar 31 00:08:10 JST 1996 translated at: Mon Apr 1 21:22:44 JST 1996 From: "sensorium" staff Thank you for your mail. Regarding linked senses, for most authors it was their first writing experience on the Web. Results were quite successful, and everybody seemed to enjoy the experience despite some trials and errors. For the next verse, the seventh, we are going to break off this serial collaboration. We are discussing how to renovate the linked senses. By the way, how did you like the photos by Bruce Osborn? He has enjoyed creating images, as opposed to following the images in the text too closely. We, including Bruce and all our staff, are waiting for your comments on the linked senses. Tetsuya Ozaki, chief-in-editor of the sensorium. | |

Sat Mar 30 17:22:47 JST 1996 (Japan) translated at: Mon Apr 1 21:23:31 JST 1996 Hi, I have visited the sensorium often, and I feel that almost all pages contain too much to read. So, I always look into the linked senses. I could almost feel the power coming from the display when I read from the linked senses, but my eyes quickly became bleary when staring at the monitor as I read the other parts. The linked senses is absolutely wonderful! I sometimes feel heartache when I read it because I can't keep up with the images of the words, which spread so fast, but I am glad that I can still look at these things with the innocence of youth. I would like to thank all the people who contributed text. Thank you. |

Wed Mar 20 14:28:43 JST 1996(Japan) translated at: Mon Apr 1 21:26:11 JST 1996 From: "sensorium" staff Dear Yoshida-san, Thank you for your warm and positive comment. As our mascot flower grows, we will intensify our efforts to improve the sensorium. Regarding your question about the Buddhist term "ku", the more we talk about ku, the further ku will be from us. Your question implied this, didn't it? People have studied ku throughout the past 1,000 years, so only a few words will not do the subject justice here. However, my contribution to the linked senses, which will be uploaded on April 4, would be my answer to your question. The meaning of viewing flowers, circulation beyond the individual, the sense of a life network and reincarnation.... If we don't feel ku in our ordinary lives, our lives are meaningless, aren't they? The Buddha, who deeply thought about ku, had as his symbol the lotus flower. | |

March 14, 1996 09:40 translated at: Wed Mar 27 06:27:45 JST 1996 Well, the other day I wrote something that I misunderstood because I just read a little part of the sensorium. I am embarrassed. When I was reading the "sign" text by Takemura-san, I imagined what does "ku" or "air" mean in the cyberspace. It is going to be a zen catechism... [kazuoy@mbox.kyoto-inet.or.jp] |

March 11, 1996 11:05 [Japan] translated at: Wed Mar 27 06:26:47 JST 1996 For the theme "sense," I reflect on my past thought about the Net. I thought of the Net as being the same as TV shows or magazine articles, but of course advanced and used in realtime. Teenaged girls often say, "Woo, it's fun!" It would be a right way to approach the Internet. To feel like them, I expect that sensorium will show me experiments on the Net. [kazuoy@mbox.kyoto-inet.or.jp] |

Thu Mar 7 02:45:11 JST 1996 (Japan) From: Colin Tatton@Wolverhampton, UK A chance visit and are there any accidents when I spend a good deal of my life as a teacher and psychotherapist telling people in Fritz Perls' memorable phrase:lose your mind and come to your senses! Greetings from Colin Tatton, C.Tatton@Bilston.ac.uk |

Feb. 22 19:09 (Japan) Hi, Tanaka-san. Regarding the comment received on February 19, I think the less we experience through our five senses, the more social problems occur. Don't you think environmental problems happen because we can't feel environmental crises as our own. People say that the Internet connects each of us to the world, but is this really true? The sensorium staff agree with what you say. That's why we started the sensorium, to seek solutions. Of course, one year is inadequate, but we're going to try. If you have any ideas, please let us know. | |
|
|
Feb. 19, 1996 23:24 (Japan) I think that what we call actual experience is what we experience of the world using our five senses. If that is true, to what extent the Internet can provide experiences depends on how much we actually can transfer our feelings via the Net. Current Internet communication is conducted through sight and sound. Accordingly, I doubt the potential of the Net as a communication tool to transfer actual experience. |

Sat Feb 3 11:39:12 JST 1996 (Japan) I like this design. It smacks of Japan. |
|

Sun Jan 28 00:01:49 JST 1996 (Japan) Beautiful graphics. I like the concept of ''senses,'' but some of the text is a bit too much. Please use easier words and expressions. |
|
|
Fri Jan 26 02:13:07 JST 1996 (Japan) Hi! An ambitious project, isn't it? But how about being a little less abstract and idealistic? I'm looking forward to visiting again. |
|
|
Jan. 17, 1996 00:18 (Japan) What about kanji characters on the Net? We are fed up with unicode program problems too. |
|
Jan. 16, 1996 18:09 (Japan) You are absolutely right! This will be a theme for everyone. It results from how we sense the world. | |
|
|
Sat Jan 13 08:05:28 GMT 1996 Only through a revitalization of communication can society change somehow冑 have thought this for years. I believe that the information revolution, which is currently happening, is the key to this idea. GEC01171@niftyserve.or.jp http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~naka |

Sat Jan 13 03:08:11 GMT 1996 I like the calm atmosphere. Other home pages are only a flood of information! |
|
|
Thu Jan 11 06:41:57 GMT 1996 One question: the word "san-itsu-teki" [dissipative]: does it have any Buddhist or Zen background? |
|
|
Wed Jan 10 15:26:37 GMT 1996 I agree with Takemura-san's opinion. The revolution剩he first revolution without ideologies凾y PCs and the Internet has started. That's why the dataload on home pages should be lighter to be open to many people. If you forget this aspect, the Internet expo will be just a debug experiment for Netscape 2.0 and other applications. |
|
|
Jan. 9, 1996 02:10 (Japan) Takemura's text draws a view of the world and also a media revolution that happened 100 years ago. If printing technology changed people's view of the world in the Renaissance in Italy, now PC technologies are changing the holonic view of the world. One thing I would like to comment on regarding the sensorium is that messages should be simple, because we're under NTT governance. hirokato@kt.rim.or.jp |

Jan. 9, 1996 10:37 (Japan) The text about water was very interesting. My home page is linked to the sensorium under the name of H2O, at http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~dp8e-gtu/ By H2O (Etsuo Goto) |
|
|
Jan. 7, 1996 07:03 (Japan) I liked Murai-san's opinions. The Internet has been called the third industrial revolution. One of its influences is to allow us to recognize the world. I expect more discussion in this sensorium. |
|
|
Jan. 5, 1996 08:43 (Japan) There are so many things I don't like about the sensorium, but I would like to cheer you on. My home page is linked to the sensorium as well. My home page is modern architecture in Nagoya at http://www.tcp-ip.or.jp/~csakao/ |
|
Jan. 16, 1996 21:24 (Japan) If the Internet is just a supplement to other media, it would be boring. | |
|
|
Jan. 5, 1996 04:41 (Japan) Can you imagine a virtual restaurant? I think the Internet will be just a supplement to other media and services, because a virtual museum is possible but not a virtual hospital. |
|
|
Jan. 4, 1996 15:32 (Japan) Why are Net people so abstract? I enjoy using PCs and surfing the WWW. I don't understand at all. |
|
|
Jan. 4, 1996 01:40 (Japan) I enjoyed the texts by Takemura-san and Murai-san. I didn't know anyone was thinking about the Internet in such a serious way. We probably need senses not to drown in a flood of information via the Internet. For me, sense is checking whether information is good or bad. |
|
|
Jan. 2, 1996 17:42 (Japan) I sent New Year e-mail instead of New Year cards. This year, I saw some New Year e-mail with lottery numbers. Yes, New Year e-mail can make the Internet more popular. Shall we think of how to increase the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications income, then? |
|
|
Jan. 2, 1996 16:40 (Japan) The Net is fun and touching. I can feel something new beyond the possibility of business chances. |
|
|
Jan. 2, 1996 15:20 (Japan) We know the Internet is a potential media and also one other media as a tool, such as newspapers and TVs. I think what is most important about the Net is that it is an environment that anybody can access. Because of that, what we say on the Net should be responsible, and we need a system to clarify who said what. In future, the Net may not belong to us but companies. Anyway, I'd like to have a good discussion with many people. kiryu@bnn-net.or.jp |
|
|
Jan. 2, 1996 09:56 (Japan) When thinking about the Internet, some people think of it as an entertainment source or information tool, while others think of it as a way to expand the function of human senses. I think we'll know within a year which one is true. So please keep going to seek the senses. That's why we need the sensorium. taq-nog@po.iijnet.or.jp |

|
Dec. 31, 1995 18:23 (Japan) Cheaper and easier, so we can use the Internet as easily as we use the TV, radio or telephone. I think that the next generation will use the Net, ATMs and TV-telephones at home. |
|
|
Dec. 31, 1995 17:49 (Japan) I would like to find sense to seek something that is not exchangeable into money. We are not very good at communicating with foreigners, so I'm interested in how we communicate with them via the Internet, where we can encounter various values. Will the Internet be just a boom, or can we find international senses in their true meaning? I believe we can enhance our senses to create new values for the Japanese. |
|
|
Dec. 31, 1995 15:54 (Japan) I would like to have an interface to receive e-mail from abroad in Japanese. To care for the Japanese language is most important for me on the Net. |
