Masaki FUJIHATA was born in 1956 in Japan. He is not only one of the pioneers of new media art in Japan, but his artworks also had a huge impact on the development of the contemporary technology and art. Currently he is a professor at the Tokyo University of Arts, a position he has held since 1999. Since the early ‘80s, he has been involved in the production of computer graphics and animation. Subsequently, and in tandem with the dramatic developments achieved in digital technology, he began pursuing their possibilities of artistic expression present in digital media. Boldly moving into uncharted territory in the world of art, his works are imbued with the special features unique to the newest technologies in interactive art, virtual reality and networking. He raised a variety of issues that had never emerged through earlier media of expression, and in the process Fujihata breathed fresh new life into art. In his every endeavor he strives to see through to the core essence, always remains constant as he earnestly probes the fundamental questions of human perception, awareness, and communication. As a result, he is gaining attention both in Japan and overseas as a trailblazer in the field of new media art. He was awarded a GoldenNIKA award from Ars Electronica Festival in 1996, and in 2010 received the Art Encouragement Prizes from the Ministry of Education.
