ucnv

Develops programs to intentionally generate glitches, normally an unintended program error phenomenon caused by corrupted data during the playback of still or moving images, and present the results as visual expressions of glitches. The idea is to translate the unconscious operations of playback equipment into works of art by assuming what is supposed to be unpredictable. Glitches produced this way are incorporated into live performances and music clips. Is also active as a member of the Utah Kawasaki Band Aratame ucnv Band.


OSHIRO Makoto

Born in Okinawa, 1978. OSHIRO Makoto graduated from the Musicology Department, Osaka University of Arts. For live performances, he uses instruments and implements for playing and composing, which he makes by combining electronic devices, junk, and everyday materials. He also creates installation works using sound, light, and movement.
Main exhibitions include '- GREAT △ — INSTALLATIONS @ BAIKADO' (BAIKADO, Osaka, 2010), "Mono-beat Cinema" ("emergencies! 016" at "Open Space 2010," ICC, 2010), 'Cycles' (20202, Tokyo, 2013).
