As a media artist, Masaki Fujihata spent over 20 years'
experiences to produce art works. The recent work is a publication of the archive of his art works from 1972 to 2016. The
book consists of chronology, description of works, essays. Augumented Reality was used for showing not only document videos,
but also 3D models which are re-constructed former installations, and an art work itself. While introducing the book, the
thought around the concept of archiving will be described.
Masaki Fujihata is a trailblazing
media artist, begins with CG in 80's and shifts to make computer sculptures. His successful work Beyond Pages is presented
in the late 90's as an interactive art. In particular, his experiments with GPS technology with movie images (beginning in
1992, ie. Impressing Velocity, to the Voices of Aliveness 2012) explore new possibilities of document and memory, and also
visualize continuity between virtual and real.
Global Interior Project #2 won the 1996 Golden NIKA Award, Voices
of Aliveness won an Ars Electronica Award of Distinction in 2013, and Simultaneous Echoes received the 2010 Ministry of Education
Award for Fine Arts.
