Ryuta Aoki is an artist, artistic director, conceptual designer, system architect, software engineer, entrepreneur, and social sculptor based in Tokyo.
With the theme of exploring "societies as they could be," he creates works of art and orchestrates research and development, art projects, conferences, and exhibitions in the interdisciplinary field between art, science, and technology.
Grounded in Japanese culture and philosophy deeply connected to nature, he embraces new perspectives on life and humanity brought about by advances in science and technology. Beyond mere exhibitions, he creates works that directly interact with and instigate change in nature and society as systems.
