LIFE-COURSE
COMPRESSION
OBSERVATORY
ライフコース圧縮観測所
Observing how work, status, relationships,
technology and place accumulate as change
within a human life.
Modern lives are not only becoming longer or shorter.
They may also be becoming denser.
Employment changes.
Geographic movement.
Public visibility.
Algorithmic decisions.
Caregiving.
Status transitions.
The question is not only what happens.
It is how much happens,
and how quickly.
A life may not simply become shorter. It may become denser.
人生は、短くなるだけではない。 濃くなることがある。
How much change can accumulate within a human life before the surrounding social structures, work structures, relationships, and institutions fail to adapt at the same speed?
Not: why did this person die? But: how quickly did major life-course transitions accumulate, and in what sequence?
