Biography
Since 'it's difficult for me to use' in 2011 till the latest one called 'the place of weeds' to 'the cultural reserve base T1-' in 2022, though over the last 7 solo exhibition in total, he has continued to work on how technological development is applied to labor and how biased the benefits of technology work.
It reveals the inertial attitude that technology responds to the consequences of disability and failure, the inherent limitations of high-tech, which is directed only at mainstream and norm, and the contradictions that arise when relying on technology for social challenges and is seeking alternatives.
