Masaaki Oikawa

Through his involvement in largescale video productions such as Expos he came to realize that With video what is important is creating an experience and not being confined to a rectangular frame. After experiencing the aurora spreading across the entire sky in 1999 he began working on planetarium dome video and in 2005 he produced the worlds first 360degree spherical image at Expo 2005 in Aichi. He continues to produce works that appeal to the viewers sensibilities such as interactive images and handmade stopmotion animation works.
