Lives and works in Tokyo, Japan
Artist statement
Completed the Master's Program in InterMedia Art at the Graduate School of Tokyo University of the Arts. I have invented 20 AI patents in Japan, the United States, China, and Hong Kong. In an AI-driven society where social implementation is progressing, ""outliers,"" or data that is too different, are often excluded. I explore the theme of ""The Roar of Outliers"" from the perspective that there may be pressing lives of social minorities behind these outliers. I attempt to practice deconstruction from the conventional binary opposition between humans and AI using media technology and conceptual methods.
