Born in Osaka in 1960. Lives in Tokyo. By creating digital sound works and giving performances, KUBOTA Akihiro examines the effects produced by various materials, algorithms, improvisations, and interfaces. Recently he has been exploring the possibilities of algorithmic improvisation - the generation of dynamic and interactive forms of expression - while realizing numerous micro-algorithms corresponding to various human skills in parallel with digital materialism, which defines the countless, high-speed strings of digits in computers as the common materials of various modes of expression, such as music and images. KUBOTA is currently a professor in the Department of Information Design at Tama Art University.
