Yoichiro Kawaguchi

(Kagoshima, Japan, in 1952)

Digital artist and emeritus professor at the University of Tokyo, he generates his artistic grammar from computational algorithms. His artistic proposal focuses on the interaction of science and art, as well as the development of new artistic methods, as well as new techniques. in computer-generated images based on the morphological and ecological laws of Nature. One of the most original artists of computer art, he developed a technique intended to shape curved surfaces generated by a computer, a technique formalized in the Morphogenesis Model program, which allows creating forms that seem to obey certain natural laws of genesis and growth of living beings. . Growth III: Origin is a poetic metaphor about the origin of the universe: embryonic organic forms evolve in a space without gravity, mutating perennially until they become stars, amoebas, algae to undergo new mutations and become complex beings. In Ecology: Ocean he creates an imaginary world, a kind of marine landscape populated by tentacular ectoplasms that devour and phagocytose, giving rise to new forms. He participated in the CIBERVISIÓN_02 exhibitions at Medialabmadrid.
