I had a morning meeting with Bryant (Yeh Studio) and Takuya (Gran Turismo).  We’ve been meaning to connect for a while. We had coffee at Echo Park and had a long discussion about technology, what role it was playing in our daily lives, how the youth were absorbing information through technology, the highlights and pitfalls of living within a hyper reality. It was great fun having this conversation with Takuya, who would know a thing or two about hyper realism via his Gran Turismo games. I don’t know how we managed to carry on into an existentialist conversation, but I found it rather satisfying to share my argument and counter arguments with Takuya and Bryant, who were very much open to have an open discourse.

Following, Takuya gave me a gift: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue along with a nice Gran Turismo Bearbrick. Thank you again Takuya for spending some time with me.
