I was born in 1978 and grew up in Yokohama. My research fields are Media Studies and Sociology of Art. As a co-founder, I established SETENV in 2000, and have been engaged in organizing several live performances and exhibitions on Media Art. After studying in the UK, I turned to focus on my own research projects in 2007. My current research interest is how the development of media technologies have influenced our feeling of ‘space’. To put is another way, now we are weaving various meanings while carrying our own mobile media in spaces where every corner is structured by different forms of fixed media. I would like to depict this sort of bundle of meanings as a ‘field’. Thus, I hope to focus on two particular issues below;
