Super clones!//
Transcending the original!//
Is there any limit/to what you can do with technology?//
But now I have to ask you:/What is your goal?//
It’s fun,/but do you have a higher purpose?//
- M :
-
Well,/I’d say my main goal/is to protect our cultural heritage/and pass it on to the next generation.//
Much of the world’s great art is endangered.//
It is being lost to natural disasters,/destroyed by conflict,/damaged during restoration,/displaced by history,/or discolored by age.//
May I read you a few sentences from the exhibit catalog?//
- R :
-
Of course.//
Please do.//
- M(reading) :
-
“With our clone project,/we hope to restore damaged cultural properties/and allow people all over the world,/especially young people,/to appreciate great human accomplishments.//
Cultural properties lead people/to appreciate not just the individual artwork’s ingenuity/but also the diversity of cultures/which is instrumental in creating great art.//
The greater your access to artworks,/the greater your respect for different cultures.//
We hope that will contribute to making a peaceful world.”//
In short,/our mission is to build peace through art.//
- R :
-
Build peace through art.//
That’s a very appropriate closing thought.//
Professor Miyasako,/thank you very much.//
I’m looking forward/to the next exhibit of “Super Clone Cultural Properties.”//
And I hope you’ll join me again on Rie’s Gallery.//
- M :
-
It’s been a pleasure,/Rie-san.//
- R :
-
Just call me Rie.//
