[Music]
hi
everyone good afternoon or morning
afternoon right um so I want to do a a
really short uh presentation about
what's happening in in the Isam culture
actually and then I want to give you
some sort of like a landscape of the
what the culture look like um especially
the this Devon has like 60% of people
are new to Devon and then you know a lot
of people might be the the entry point
like you know they are like very curious
about what is the ethereum so I want to
give you the super kind of like a digest
of what is the etherum culture
expanding in the infinite
Garden okay so my name is Tomo I'm a
designer at the etherum foundation and
I'm from Japan um I work on the Devcon
and some other stuff in eim Foundation
stuff um probably you see a lot of
things uh not this but this is yeah this
is some sort of like I I do illustration
or design uh this is from the itan
foundation website
and then Devcon like probably I don't
know how many of you enjoying the being
Devcon and this all design stuff is you
know I worked on this and then with
other people of course collaboration is
very important so I'm really
appreciating thank you so much for thank
you so much for enjoying and I really
yeah love to hear what you guys think
and then yes I am excited about the
future of Devon and stuff anyways so
ethereum is a cultural platform I could
say that because uh I um I get involved
in ethereum five years ago um when I
joined to the Devon Osaka and then and
then I came to the Devon and I thought
oh Devon is like The Burning Man for
Tech nurse did I say yeah Tech nurse
right so bar everybody knows what is
barning
man yeah barning man's like this right
and having fun and a
self-expression and having a great
moment right and
it's get together as a
community and sometimes you
right so very similar somehow like so I
was like okay I can definitely
contribute more to this
community okay so now so what is a
culture
actually so culture definition um the
art and the other manifestation of the
human intellectual achievement regarded
collectivity that's cool and the ideas
customs and the social behavior of
particular people or Society right and
then third one one I actually really
like the maintain tissue cells bacteria
Etc in a CO condition suitable for
growth it sounds like a very ethereum
actually so that's the image of that
like when we are creating actually small
small things in one of those so each one
has its own
unique activities and projects things
and one in terms of the culture I talk
about the music a lot because um yeah
music is very cultural and that
influenced me so much um do you know
where the the you know this picture is a
the club culture we really familiar with
right now um with a big speakers and
lighting do you know where it
started do you have any idea anyone has
idea where the club culture started
some people might say
like uh
Detroit right destroy Techo things was
happening before um anyone has any idea
like
some Japan oh Japan is cool Japan is
really cool um I'm proud of Japan uh
okay
so the origin as far as far as I know is
here
Jamaica um late 60s and 70s they were
creating a sound system in the park and
they created those dancing environment
and one time in late late late 90s a
producer forgot to so they were actually
creating copies of records and they
forgot to that uh the copy the vocal
truck to the next l record so became
like the only track record was created
by mistake and then when they play that
people got nuts about it so it's like
you know that the craft cult culture
started by mistake in the late 60 I
think it's a 69 or something um but
that's a beginning and then that's
created as you know the mistake it's a
small thing so like you know starting
from there to that this is phenomenal so
that's the of the
culture so we are one of those three
things and then imagine you know we just
you know we we're reaching 10 years next
year but you know many years later
what's going to
happen so so I want to go a little bit
of digest major subcultures in etherum
so Cypher Punk so probably a lot of
people heard about this word and
probably you know Swag the grain jacket
is reflecting that ethos of The Cypher
bankk as well um so Cy Cypher bankk is a
di di movement um also the prioritizing
your privacy and um uh security and it
started in the '90s so that was kind of
like a base of the the C culture who
built
cryptographic Technologies and also the
a lot of applications such as Bitcoin
and now it's ethereum and that relates
I think it's talk about the yeah cyer
punk and also the Guna Punk also uh
that's kind of sub subculture right and
we have regions region is creating the
POS positiv some economy and with like
very smart cryptographic and social
impact uh culture and of course we
should not forget about the Dig because
the Dig plays some interesting role in
the ecosystem as well so those threes
are major subcultures in eum and also
Layer Two are creating another cultural
elements
so let's
appreciate and then yeah see how it it's
going to grow right and the example of
the cultureal experience and ideas
obviously we are in the Devon this is
the one of the most active cultural
experience so I hope you guys are
enjoying it
and Dev connect Dev connect is another
event run by etherum Foundation we're
doing next year like happened last year
in esto next year we don't know where
yet but we'll see and local community
events are so important we have a lot of
like we have Josh mentioned probably 100
more uh local events was happening over
the years right so it's really amazing
it's co-creating and then popup popup
Community such as zaru Ed City and Etc
it's it's it's becoming a interesting
experiment and I attended one of those
in Chi and it was really fun and also
yeah great to observe what's what what
the global movement is going to
be and Pagoda is one of the the local
region oriented uh group that focus on
the the
Agia Dak um
di had a couple of um di had a session
yesterday and it's a yeah trying to
be safe right technology is cool but
also accelerate just you know defensive
acceleration is very important because
we want to create the humanity safe and
protect it right and this
is this is a video of example of the DIC
for
[Music]
[Applause]
me so technolog are cool but you don't
want to be just like using the phone at
the club you know just take a photograph
or videos you know you want to enjoy
life so yeah just be sure we create
technology for something
good and autonomous world is the concept
of digitally could be also real world I
believe it's a the the uh uh
cryptography and also um what did I
say what did I say yeah SM contract
track type of uh platform to Auto create
a uh automatic and autonomy Society
movement and then
organizations and also in this Devon I
led the artist and writers cohort in uh
and then there was eight installations
in the venues and then it was great to
experiment for us to work with the
artists and writers is to learn what is
the essence of infinite garden and
reflect through ART and
writings yeah we spent about three three
months to work on this and then this was
really um yeah I learn I learned so much
and okay so how it's
expanding the infinite
Garden um I believe most of people knows
about the infinite Garden I guess but
let me uh repeat that the essence of
infinity Garden is the creating uh a
platform or like space so that you can
keep playing the infinite games and let
me read this quote a finite game is
played for the purpose of
winning and infinite game for the
purpose of continuing the play so we as
um as etherum Community we don't want
create winners and losers we want
everyone keep playing the game so that's
the essence of infinite
garden and when when U when it comes to
the plan a game of
culture it probably look like more like
this like expanding right so we're not
experimenting in a small space but more
like we visioning expanding and
connecting
and then there was a lot of uh
activities i l earlier would show up
like
this and you
are belonging to one of those I
believe and another way to describe the
expansion is like this as
well and we say my solum is a good
example
and yeah again okay so okay I'm running
out on my time so I need to go really
fast okay you're also building a culture
right because you're creating something
in ethereum so how to build a culture in
a infinite Garden so learn the core
values these are core values okay so you
can go to the vitalic website uh blog
it's super good about uh make cyer Punk
again and Define your values like why uh
why are you working on eum just reflect
why
right and then create the practice and
project and because culture is has more
impact than the
feature and when you create a culture
from culture to feature I think that
will make things so much better I
believe so and then the step four share
your values just like I mentioned about
the uh Mandara in the the opening
ceron and remember we are starting like
this starting with the sound system and
we are creating the global culture
together okay thank you sorry I I took
so long thank you very
much so turn for the
Q&A oh we already have one
question nice all right thanks for that
that's really cool present St um I think
it's generally easier when you're like
running an open source project or
something that's like a public good but
what advice would you have for Builders
that are building for-profit tools in
the ecosystem how do they fit into this
ecosystem from a cultural
perspective um with my experience I
would say actually paying forward
mindset is always somehow works so not
as you know the the project principle
but more like principle of life you know
and then that is somewhat like you know
you just contribute first and then just
receive afterwards and then not
expecting too much about it you know
expectation kills you right so I don't
know if I'm really you know answering
your question but like that's how I have
been doing no you you are so like
sharing without expectation of return so
not selling not like not transactional
contribut got it thank you okay thank
you thank
you have any more
questions yep uh who are the artists
that influenced you in your personal
style it's definitely
Miyazaki uh I grew up in Japan and also
the French artist called
Mobius they actually both are
influencing each other like in the 70s
and 80s so that's definitely um yeah my
biggest
influence all right are there any more
questions yep we have one over
there uh what are some areas you think
are under um focused on that people
should focus on in the culture of uh
this community that's really good
question um let me
think well that means actually um I
think just a lot um I I feel like it's
ethereum is covering actually so little
and um I'm not saying like necessarily A
thre should cover everything but I think
like we we we we are we covering our own
places is an area of Interest as a
community and we can expand more and a
lot more and a lot more I don't never I
never experienced or never heard yet so
I think it's okay and I'm um I'm curious
what do you think what what do you think
you are you know what's missing for
us if you
have there's definitely something about
uh people don't know what ethereum is if
you talk to a normal person and they
just think it's the gambling so there's
definitely something there maybe it's a
a product that clearly helps people or a
narrative that makes people feel isn't
just for gambling yeah definitely I I
100% there's a lot of people have a
misconception about what is what is AUM
um that's actually why I am uh kind of
working on creating the world of
ethereum using like my skills to create
like some familiar world or that's
somewhat you can experience so yeah
definitely yeah that's that's a good
challenge I'm taking and then I'd love
to challenge
more y we also have one over there uh so
there's a lot of things that contribute
to the
culture uh you know whether it be people
building in the ecosystem events like
this um so what do you think are some of
the key pillars that help build a
culture within ethereum for
example I would say those three pillars
The Cypher Punk and region and dig are
major pillars that uh build this EOS and
definitely the cyop punk is is the
largest um and then we can actually
learn what is the essence of cyer punk
and create our own like your own version
is is is a really fun and also like
probably meaningful for you as
well what what was your personal reason
for joining Ean
Foundation personal reason to joining
the Ean Foundation I was actually uh
asked to apply to the job
um it's it's it's it was five years ago
and some so a designer was leaving and
then so they were looking for the new
new person and then I was like got
connection to apply so I mean so that's
a d question uh dble answers but um one
so yeah so actually so I started working
right and then then again I it came to
Devon and I just realized what this
experience is such a amazing so I just
decided to
stay all right so cool to thank you so
much thank you very much
