Since 2002, when I started using digital tools to create artworks, I felt that digital technology is an excellent tool that can contribute to each of all creative processes and that the use of this rapidly developing digital tool will have a significant impact on the future of the art world.
In 2006, I expanded my PC creation space from a two-dimensional flat world to a three-dimensional cubic world. In other words, the number of dimensions increased by one, and by adding time change as variables, I immediately realized the infinite expansion and possibilities of the creative space.
In the creating process, the PC display and I interact with each other, and by repeating this interaction, I can draw out the hidden power of me as an artist and create more convincing expressions. The digital tool is, so to say, a chance generator that gives artists a chance to come up with new ideas.
