Shiro Takahashi
Shiro Takahashi, who passed away suddenly in 2021, was an important pioneer in the early days of media art and a trailblazer in introducing computers into design education. He participated in the 1970 World Exposition in his twenties and continued to create works such as air membrane sculptures and kinetic sculptures, gaining international recognition for his talent.
In particular, he established computer and internet research groups at Tama Art University and actively engaged in new artistic fields like kinetic art, computer art, media art, and information design. His extensive efforts in education and research led to the establishment of the Department of Information Design in 1998 and the founding of a Media Center, which aimed to update the content of art education in response to society's increasing digitalization.
After the establishment of the Department of Information Design, Takahashi developed his own unique media art education programs and launched discussions on information art theory, utilizing the works of his students. His vast body of work and unique perspective offer insights into the future and may serve as inspiration for exploring new forms of artistic expression. Takahashi's legacy is widely recognized for its significant impact on the fields of media art and design education. This exhibition aims to introduce the full scope of his diverse activities and share his legacy with the world.
