U.S. debut of a selection of intermedia works that premiered at Punta della Dogana, Venice. The installations utilize deep learning processes networked to trigger each other — A.I.-generated videos portraying a human-machine connection through otherworldly imagery.

First solo exhibition in Asia by Pierre Huyghe. Liminal explores the boundary between human and non-human, featuring interconnected installations that utilize deep learning and brain decoding processes.

Major solo exhibition curated by Anne Stenne, featuring new works alongside pieces from the last decade. The exhibition presents AI-generated environments using deep image reconstruction from brain activity — a world of interconnected intelligences where biological and artificial processes merge. Installed in the historic Punta della Dogana building by Tadao Ando.

Solo exhibition featuring works including Flora that incorporate brain data and algorithmic processes. A mix of punk-inspired coding, challenging algorithms, and hacking of physical and conventional technology.

Dissonant Imaginary presented as part of “EXPERIMENT” — Daito Manabe’s solo exhibition at the Kiyoharu Art Colony Museum of Light.

Materialized deep image reconstruction — synthetic and biological material aggregate (sugar, resin, stainless steel) with micro-organisms. A sculptural form derived from neural image reconstruction, bridging the gap between mental imagery and physical matter.

Site-specific installation of UUmwelt at LUMA Arles, presented on the occasion of the Foundation’s opening alongside works by Anri Sala and Tino Sehgal.

Debut album by Brighton post-punk band Squid on Warp Records. Album artwork and booklet feature brain scan images generated by Kamitani Lab using deep image reconstruction. The green vinyl edition includes a signed 20-page booklet with exclusive quotes from the band and Yukiyasu Kamitani. Named one of the 50 Best Album Covers of 2021.

Dissonant Imaginary presented as part of “ライゾマティクス_マルティプレックス” — Rhizomatiks’ first major solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.

Audiovisual performance at Sónar+D CCCB, working at the intersection of science, music, performance, and technology. The performance falls between audiovisual performance, dance, and a lecture — incorporating brain decoding imagery.

A collective production of imagination between two types of intelligences, human and artificial. Private ideas and memories were given as images or descriptions to be imagined by a subject. As the person imagined these components, brain activity was captured by an fMRI scanner and a deep neural network reconstructed images from the neural patterns.

Part of Okayama Art Summit 2019 “IF THE SNAKE もし蛇が” with Pierre Huyghe as Artistic Director. UUmwelt was presented alongside works exploring consciousness, emerging intelligence, and non-human cognition across historical cultural venues in Okayama.

Audio-visual installation and live performance presented at major international art and music festivals worldwide. The work reconstructs images from brain activity data measured while listening to music, visualizing cross-modal phenomena between sound and vision.

Music video for the track “夢” from Maison book girl’s 2nd album yume. Dream visualization imagery generated using neural decoding data from Kamitani Lab (Kyoto University & ATR). Music by サクライケンタ. Directed by suzzken, with technical direction by 浦川通 (Qosmo / Dentsu Lab Tokyo).

Audio-visual installation that reconstructs images from brain activity data measured while listening to music. The work visualizes changes in visual cortex and association cortex activity induced by auditory stimuli, exploring cross-modal phenomena between sound and vision through brain decoding technology.

Major exhibition featuring deep image reconstruction from brain activity. LED screens displayed neural images generated from fMRI data, while the gallery space was inhabited by flies and other organisms — creating a porous, contingent environment housing different forms of cognition and emerging intelligence.

Painting (2500 x 2000 mm, acrylic on wooden panel) incorporating visual image reconstruction from Kamitani Lab. Inspired by Samantha Bailly’s novel Facettes, the work weaves together technology and tradition — using silk-screened brain-reconstructed images as a foundation layer beneath painted forms.
