The objective of the OH2022 did not take the form of just introducing the research professors and research results of the students of our university through perfect artwork and refined research results. There were prototypes in their trial-and-error testing phase, ideas that never came to theory, and the Open House was a place for all participants to engage in discussion. In addition, the two most recent ones were held online so taking what was learned from the online experiences, we experimented going back to the physical style too that took place in 2019 and before.
The results of the OH2022 were not only an opportunity to open IAMAS up to the outside world, as exemplified by the “poster exhibition using the Kiosk,” but also to provide students and professors the chance to present researh, creations, personal interests to be shared in their own personal space. As a result of COVID and life before having had a different sense of distance before the idea of maintaining distance was enforced, the investigation term became those restrictions of physical contact and margins of communication. The OH2022 could be said to have given fixed results as an opportunity to remeasure the distance between ourselves and strangers, the relationships between students and faculty, and the length, and largeness of these sorts of communication margins.
