Naoto Fuchigami
Born in Kobe, Hyogo in 1995. Graduated from Kansai University, Faculty of Systems Engineering, Department of Physics and Applied Physics in 2018. After working as a systems engineer at Fujitsu Ltd., left the company in 2021 to pursue a career as an artist. Using quantum physics as a point of departure, his practice explores the notion of “approximation”—an operation that simplifies complex subjects—in a broader sense, treating it as a concept that encompasses not only an object and one of its aspects, but also the differences and relationships between them. By imbuing diverse materials such as semiconductors and chemical substances with meaning, he seeks new possibilities of expression that reflect his lived experience within the accelerating information society and the age of AI.
