ARTIFICIAL SENTIMENT DRIVE
I’ve created this work through using my iPhone, by taking screenshots of each location sourced from Google Maps.It features a series of landscapes that although I have never visited in person, and probably won’t in the future, they do “exist” in my map. When I drop the location pin, they “exist” as if they were captured by my own perspective.These landscapes were all recorded by an AI camera-equipped vehicle, taken by various digital signals from an enormous amount of data accumulated automatically. Yet there’s a moment that it all forms into a perfect landscape, one from my own narrative and nostalgia, and I am overwhelmed by emotion.Just as photography offers a tangibility to visualize the multiple signals in the air, our emotions go along with these random signals.

Born in Japan, my early childhood years were in the United States. After completing a degree in studio work I started my career as an independent photographer from 2009.Since then I’ve been shooting client work as also as publishing art photography represented by gallery 360° Tokyo. My art projects are mainly landscapes. Such as <this must be the place 2014> Visiting Florida, USA. Where I spent my childhood. <celebration 2015> Sequel to the former project in Florida. Capturing a landscape of a “perfect neighborhood” that Walt Disney created. This exhibition will be the first in five years since <post palm tree 2017>
