Mariko Mori
Mariko Mori was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1967. In 1988, Mori graduated from Bunka Fashion College in Toyko and attended Byam Shaw School of Art London. Mariko Mori continued her studies from 1989 to 1992 in London at Chelsea College of Art. In 1993, she completed an Independent Study Program at the Whitney Museum New York.Mori's career began education in photography and video. Photography and video disciplines is a perfect progression into digital media art. In her early works her work as a fashion model strongly influenced her art. Mori would place herself in her art work as an alien creature. Mori used photography and digital imaging to create her art.
In 1994 Mariko created "Play with Me" (pictured below) in which she represents herself cyborg.

Tida Dome: Journey to Seven Light Bay
2011
The tita dome is a hollow sand dome cave that is illuminated with light from the mind and nature. Miro's evolution in her art show how she combine world of technology and nature to create a stunning body of work. Markio blends Western culture with eastern philosophy in her digital art. She keeps her Japanese identity with splashes of pop culture. Her work as an artist spans from photographs, video, computer generated-photographs, and digital manipulated video to create breathtaking visual environments. I have enjoyed her calm, inspiring and spiritual work.
