Today is the second out of three days in our annual conference, among the United Methodist churches in eastern Pennsylvania. Like yesterday and tomorrow, I'll be there all day today. Here, you see the logo that was developed specifically for this year's conference. The logo is on a digital screen. In the foreground, the staff carried by our bishop during opening and closing ceremonies. Its presence on the stage symbolizes that she is presiding.

The conference „Digital Backyards Japan“ has been initiated by smal.jp and berlinergazette.de. It took place during three days of January 2013 (10th-12th) in northern Japan at the Sapporo Media Arts Lab. The aim was to explore future forms of networking in the field of knowledge production.
The awareness towards the digital monopolism of companies based in Silicon valley is growing all over the world. Also in Japan. But what are alternatives to Google and Facebook? The conference „Digital Backyards Japan“ claims: The answer can not be yet another internet giant of Japanese origin to rival Google and Facebook. A real alternative would be to empower diversity.
The resources for alternatives to an increasingly centralized internet landscape lie dormant in Japan's diversity itself: tinker garages, corporate hotbeds, grassroots hubs, institutional labs, hacker bedrooms, editorial outposts etc. In those digital backyards various stakeholders in the field of knowledge production have been pursuing their innovative work over the last decades. However its potential has not been exhausted yet.
What can be done about this? The conference invited open minded bloggers, entrepreneurs, researchers, cultural workers, journalists and programmers to explore synergies between their work. Here they discussed: Why do we network in the first place? What do we see as emerging trends? What are up and coming web services? What is the potential of decentralized strategies?
The motivation of the conference is to think and network beyond the given (e.g. infrastructures) and the dominant (e.g. cultures). Above all it is about exploring dormant potentials: How can Japan's digital backyards catalyse networking cultures in a sustainable way? How can they revitalize a country in deep crisis? And how can they help to connect Japan anew with world society?
„Digital Backyards Japan“ was a kick off event for more meetings in Japan/Asia and a follow up of a Berlin summit in October 2012. The spontaneous proliferation of the conference enables a fruitful process of cross-regional learning from: Insights from the debates in Europe are shared in Japan/Asia and vice versa.
