biography
Norimichi Hirakawa , 平川 紀道
Born in 1982, his interest lies in the most primitive of technologies, calculation. His work is focused on installations that use either mathematical processing itself as conducted through computer programming or the results of that processing. In 2016, he began creating the series datum at a residency at The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU), and datum was shown at the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art and at a pre-event of the Sapporo International Art Festival. In 2017, he created one of the works in that series through a residency at the ALMA telescope, located at Chile’s highest point of approximately 5000 meters and it's awarded as Excellence Award in Art Division of the 22nd Japan Media Arts Festival. He has also participated in creating the work of Japanese artists, such as Ryoji Ikeda and Seiko Mikami, and is the artistic director for ARTSAT: Art and Satellite Project.
1982年生まれ。もっとも原始的なテクノロジーとして計算に注目し、コンピュータプログラミングによる数理的処理そのものや、その結果を用いたインスタレーションを中心に、2005年から作品を発表。2016年、カブリ数物連携宇宙研究機構のレジデンスで作品「datum」シリーズの制作に着手、豊田市美術館、札幌国際芸術祭プレイベントなどで発表したのち、17年、チリの標高約5000mに位置するアルマ望遠鏡のレジデンスを経て、六本木クロッシング2019などで最新バージョンを発表。また池田亮司、三上晴子らの作品制作への参加、ARTSATプロジェクトのアーティスティックディレクション等も行う。2019年より札幌を拠点。
