Artist Statement:

Kazuma Morino has received many awards in international competitions including SIGGRAPH and Ars Electronica. In his Build, exhibited in the SIGGRAPH 2003 Art Gallery, many of the built structures in our contemporary urban landscapes are concatenations of pre-fab parts and standardized dimensions.

This film plays with different skeletal arrangements of those parts to create images reflective of contemporary building blocks. In Runners, figures (dolls) made up of geometric shapes rush around, intertwining with other objects. The work expresses the beauty of interacting objects over the course of time.

Currently, he is collaborating with musicians such as Ken Ishii and Yosui Inoue on their music videos. He has also played an important role as a producer of the first floor of the SETO NIPPON KAN pavilion in EXPO 2005 in Aichi, Japan. For SIGGRAPH Asia 2008, he is a contributing artist for the Art Gallery and Emerging Technologies trailer.
