About Me:
After two decades of creative pursuits - ranging from conceptual art, installation, poetry, performance, computer art, animation, photography and digital design - I arrived in Second Life in the winter of 2007 looking for a new artistic spark. Rather than bringing in rl artwork, I'm compelled to use mainly the elements that make up sl itself - kinetic objects, animated texture, ambient noise and av animations. I normally choose scales larger than conventional gallery work because I'm interested in people experiencing the work in an immersive way - flying through them, riding on them and socializing within the art.

In my real life, I am a Tokyo based multimedia artist and designer. I have spent many years making digital art, installation art and performance. Sculpture and installation are where I started my creative career but I became progressively more involved in the digital and interactive. I see Second Life as a return back to my artistic roots yet at the same time combines my newer interests in the phenomenology in the virtual world. In my commercial life, I am a social media strategist at a global company that embraces social networking, blogging and Second Life.

Selavy took a picture of my Infinite Pixel Loop and she turned me on to how cool it would be to look at everyones' work from the point of view of the camera. I have to admit being the worst kind of self-cente… Continue
