Hibino Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab traces the process of change in which new technologies and society influence each other.
AboutAbout the lab
Following the dynamics through which knowledge is generated
The Hibino Lab studies the process in which things (technology) and groups change while influencing each other.
When a new technology appears, how do people's awareness, values, and institutions change?
Conversely, the process by which technology is made involves people's collective memory, rival technologies, and the environment specific to a place.
The lab unravels these changes through empirical analysis of people's images and discourse, and of how things behave.

*Illustrative imageFood Evolution Initiative
"Food" tends to be talked about as a noun. When it is reframed through the verb "to eat," various activities emerge, such as physical factors, psychological desires, and production and processing. The lab clarifies how the emerging technologies linked to these are connected, and considers the future of the act of eating.
*Illustrative imageInternational Comparison of Cellular Agriculture Technologies
The lab investigates how cellular agriculture technology (cultured meat), whose meaning is hard to settle, becomes established in scientific practice. Looking at its relationship to political context and industry trends, it clarifies Japan's distinctive way of establishing meaning.
*Illustrative imageA Game for Lifestyle-Related Disease Prevention
The lab is creating "Nego-Bato," a game in which players split into a side that tempts people toward unhealthy behavior and a side that negotiates against it, and talk with each other. Interaction between players tends to draw out participants' true feelings, and a junior high school version is currently in development.
