Fujihata Masaki

New media artistCity Tokyo

A pioneer of media art in Japan. In the 1980s, he created computer graphic works such as “Mandala 1983”, then transitioned to creating sculpture works like “Geometric Love”. In the 1990s, he started producing interactive art works like “Beyond Pages”. During the same period in 1996, his network-themed work “Global Interior project” won the Golden Nica award at Ars Electronica. Since 2000, he has been presenting installation works dealing with images and virtual space issues, such as “Morel’s Panorama”, “Mirror of Indiscrimination”, “Ruska’s Room”, and “Eternity of Visions”. At the same time, he began working on more public-oriented projects. In 2001, he started a fieldwork series using GPS, which developed from “Field-work@Hayama” to “Field-work@Alsace”, and then “Voices of Aliveness” in 2012. In 2018, and again in 2022, he realized a large-scale AR public art project based on history, “BeHere / 1942”, in Hong Kong and Los Angeles respectively. In recent years, he has been developing projects that deal with NFTs, such as “Brave New Commons” and “My First Digital Data”.Last Updated: 2024.08
