Update Tradition | BODW 2025

04 Dec 2025

Me as a bridge connecting past and present, east and west, ideal and reality; 

Why updating? The fundamental difference between east and west in creativity; 

Selective works; 

About neo-o-old 

 

Curiosity-driven questions to address in the session: 

What if we stay curious about the wisdom of the past? Could that leads us to the possibilities of the future? 

Why are there boundaries between art, craft and design? What is the real difference between past and present, if there ever was? 

Why updating? Not inventing, innovating, or etc.? 

What is neo-o-old?
