Tatsuya Saito
Saito is a researcher who has been working in many different fields.
One of his interests is how to create a form that is observed by human
beings to be alive. This is a very important question that involves
diverse discourse ranging from natural morphology, perceptual
psychology to artificial intelligence. His solution to this question
was to create forms based on very simple rule set that generates many
different visual patterns through minimum degree of interaction. This
study may give us a hint to answer to the question why we feel a
certain form to be alive and the profound question why we think these
forms are 'interesting'. Saito holds B.A from Keio University where he
has been a visiting scholar. His previous works include Micro
Archiving Project, which he exhibited at SIGGRAPH 2001. Currently he
studies in Design and Media Arts program at UCLA.
