21世紀末には世界人口の8割以上を「グローバルサウス」が占めると言われる。この地域のアジアやアフリカ、中南米などのIT事情を現地取材で届ける「Rest of World」は貴重なメディアだったが、立ち上げ数年で単体での配信停止となった。Google元CEOの娘が100億円近い私財を投じたプロジェクトだったと知り、その「Rest of World(その他の世界)」という名に込められた目線に複雑な思いがしつつ、あっけない幕引きに驚いている。

本棚を整理していて栗本慎一郎氏を思い出し、懐かしの『パンツをはいたサル』を読み返す。同書で紹介される「過剰と蕩尽」理論の本家、ジョルジュ・バタイユの『呪われた部分』は久しく開いていないが、昨今のAIの暴走や相次ぐサイバー攻撃のニュースに触れ、まさにこの現象だと感じた。過剰な2010年代を経て、様々な局面で蕩尽が始まっているように見える今、内なる声に耳を傾け、ひたむきに生きたい。

僕が創っているのは音楽だが、創作の動機や姿勢に関して、音楽家や作曲家からインスパイアを受けることは滅多にない。発明家、文筆家、映画監督、研究者、そしてさまざまな美術家のインタビューや著書、制作風景に触発されたり共感したりすることはしょっちゅうで、そのための探索は音楽を聴くのと同じくらい好きだ。 陶を素材とする造形作家、田中知美さんの「器を作ろうと思って陶芸を始めたのではない」という言葉がとても印象に残った。
