Completed Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences(IAMAS) in 2016. Currently enrolled in thedoctoral course at Keio University. Focusing on the projection media, he creates an installation aimed at
deviating from recognition of currently fixed images using lasers, LEDs, and deep learning generated
images. Also he performs in a style that creates images by physically interposing the mechanism of theprojection device and adding modulation as an evangelist ofZOGAKU , which strictly means playing

visuals like musical instruments.

University, Tama Art University and Advanced Media Arts and Sciences(IAMAS) as a part-time lecturer.
