Statement

“The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.” — Galileo Galilei

Expressing everything through mathematical formulas. The probability distribution of electrons, derived from the Schrödinger equation, is envisioned as flowers and drawn on paper by pen plotter in two techniques: stippling and waveforms. A body of media art works aiming for a society without boundaries between science and art.

Quantization of Sawara — 佐原の街並み・人々を数式で表す

Work

Exhibitions & Installations

A record of past exhibitions and installations: “the Art of mathematical formulas,” reconstructing masterpieces with triangulation formulas; “Quantization of Sawara,” converting a townscape and its people into point clouds; “Reconstruction of Wasan,” recreating Edo-period calculation with a robot arm; and more.

Craft

  • Forms Born from Original Programs

    Based on the Schrödinger equation of quantum mechanics, the probability distribution of electrons is simulated with original programs. The wave–particle duality is expressed in two techniques: waveforms and stippling.

  • Drawn by Pen Plotter

    An AxiDraw / NextDraw slowly lays down lines on paper with a single pen. Each sheet carries subtle variations in ink flow and tone that no print could reproduce.

  • Kent Paper and Black Ink

    Sakura Pigma pigment ink on Kent paper. Materials are chosen for lightfastness, and every work ships with a signed certificate of authenticity.
