Mariko Mori is one the most visible Japanese
artists internationally; she works exclusively with sculpture, video and photography installation. Her works often juxtapose Eastern philosophy with Western
culture; pop culture with traditional Japanese identity. Through computer-generated
photographs and large scale multi-media installations, she merges art
and technology to create a dialogue between spirituality and the materialistic
world. She also focuses on the topic of harmonious coexistence of man and
nature, conflicts between artificial and natural. I find her artistic
exploration very interesting as she tries to find balance between technology (mechanic
and cold) with that of nature (psychological and organic).

"Technology is helping to make a dream realize much easier. Pre-historical people use their hand and other stones to carve an axe, technology, it’s astound to create art. I would really would like children to discover and learn to connect with our nature and express idea through technology." -- Mariko Mori
