michi aka. Michiyuki Ishita
Spatial production, VJ, Installation, Video create, Stage arts,Graphic design, etc.


- Profile -
Born in 1974. A motion graphics and spatial production artist. By treating projected motion graphics as streams of light, instead of projecting them onto flat screens in a conventional manner, they are sublimated into a new form of expression that freely dominate the space they reside in.
 'Michi' studied installation and space produce in Musashino Art University in Tokyo. In 2001, 'Michi' started 'ku-ki', event based on collaborations between artists. He began his creative activities at this event, where he participated in direction and motion graphic production. He usually collaborate with musicians and dancers. There are some sensational performances with his new style of visual and space works. The performance named 'sound+dance+visual' (presented by project suara) is one of much note.

 In August of 2005, [conscious -ISHIKI-], a performance produced by 'Michi', was held at Spiral Hall. It received much acclaim from various fields, for presenting a new type of environment centered on motion graphics.
 'Michi' had have many performances not only in Japan but in Europe and Asian countries with applauss.

- Concept -
 'Michi' uses motion graphics not as something to be seen on a screen or monitor, but as a sensuous three dimensional form of expression. By producing spaces that cannot be contained within one person's view, through the use of multiple projectors, he attempts to create a form of visual communication that transcends the sense of sight. 'Michi' focuses on producing works that, within a frame of abstraction, require the audience to mold their own senses and construct questions, thus inducing a dialogue, instead of providing a form of expression that contains a preconceived explanatory answer.

michi
Visual Lighting Artist / 映像+空間アーティスト。

1974年生まれ
武蔵野美術大学 空間演出デザイン学科卒業

映像を光として扱い、空間を自在にコントロールするビジュアル・ライティング・アーティスト。
インスタレーション作品の制作過程から映像を取り入れた作品を造り始めた。そこに原点を持つため、「映像=質を持った光」と捉え、映像というフレームに囚われることなく幅広いフィールドで活動する。空間を描く絵の具のように映像を用い、あらゆる空間というキャンパスを美しい光で別の次元へと変えていく。
こういった手法を、自らビジュアル・ライティングと呼び、新しい表現領域を生み出している。

2000年より音楽・アートイベントのプロデュース、同時に映像・空間演出家としての活動を開始。現在は主に映像照明演出による表現活動を軸に、音楽・メディアアート・写真・彫刻との共演や、バレエ、コンテンポラリーダンス、能との作品制作、オペラの舞台演出等も多数手掛ける。また、各種イベントの演出、建築物の演出やディスプレイなどの空間演出まで幅広いフィールドで活動している。

2004年、BankART1929で行われたsuara主催「sound dance visual」vol4vol.5の公演で、映像による空間演出を打ち出し大きな話題を呼ぶ。2005年、青山のスパイラルホールでは「conscioius-意識-」という映像空間を軸とした公演を行い様々な方面から多くの反響を受ける。
ロンドンの現代美術館「ICA」やフランスのメディアアート美術館「Le CUBE」から講演・パフォーマンスへ招聘。また、2008年インドで行われたジャパンナイトでは「能」を映像と現代音楽で演出する新しい舞台表現を打ち出し、世界中から集まった人々に大きなインパクトを与えるなど、国内にとどまらずヨーロッパやアジアといった海外へも活動の場を広げている。

2006年、2007年BNCから出版された映像作家100人に選出・掲載されますます注目を集め、映像や新しい表現領域を広げる牽引者として活躍している。
