About
Math Art Museum — Where Art and Science Meet
Profile
Born in Nara, Japan, in 1996. Specializes in theoretical particle and nuclear physics.
Creates the “Math Art Museum,” a body of media art works based on mathematical formulas. Has collaborated with companies including Panasonic Holdings and Matsuya Foods on art projects and web application development. Since 2024, also works as a web engineer in application development and data analysis.
Leads classes and workshops for students and adults. Over 40,000 followers across social media.
Forms Born from Original Programs
All of my works are born from programs I write myself. Using Processing, openFrameworks, Python, and other languages and frameworks as each purpose demands, I design the optimal algorithm for every single work. I also use Houdini — CG software employed in Hollywood VFX — to simulate and model complex three-dimensional structures.
For me, writing code is the same as holding a paintbrush.
Drawn by Pen Plotter
The finished formulas are drawn on paper as graphs by a pen plotter.
The plotter was originally a device for outputting vector data for technical drafting. Unlike inkjet or laser printers, which build images from grids of square pixels (bitmaps), it draws continuous, unbroken lines as vector data.
This “single unbroken line” is what matters. The continuity inherent in a mathematical formula — variables changing smoothly, values connected without interruption — is reproduced on paper as the physical continuity of a line. It is the moment when digital data first appears in this world as matter, through the ink at the tip of a pen.
The paper itself is carefully chosen, and each work is completed as a whole — down to how the lines bleed and how the ink settles.
