Yuma Kishi is a contemporary artist working with AI and the human form. Kishi considers AI not as something that imitates people, but as an alien intelligence from another dimension. By relying on it in his artistic process, he creates works in which the digital intelligence and the analog body are always placed in a parallel relationship. In his works, he often borrows motifs from past art history, which are distortedly combined with technology to evoke a sense of momentary dislocation in the viewer's awareness of the self and the world that exists in the here and now.
Kishi received his MFA in Image Generation Algorithms from the University of Tokyo in 2019 and is currently a graduate student at Tokyo University of the Arts. He has been part of a number of group exhibitions in Tokyo, including at Mitsukoshi Contemporary Gallery, T-Art Hall, and Gallery Water as well as in online galleries such as the NeurIPS Creativity AI Art Online. This year, he has his first solo exhibition at the Block House in Tokyo. His work has also been featured by Nike and Vogue.
