Born in Tokyo in 1962, Norihiro Hirayama is a media artist working with CG and LED light-space installations. While still a student at Musashino Art University, he joined the CG production team for the NHK Special The Miraculous Microcosm: The Human Body. His work ILLUSION du JAKUCHU, based on the paintings of Itō Jakuchū, was entrusted to astronaut Soichi Noguchi in 2003 and travelled to the International Space Station. His LED spatial video work Ascension drew over 2,000 visitors to his solo exhibition in Bessancourt, France, was recognised by the Val d'Oise department (CEEVO), broadcast nationwide on ARTE, and featured on the website of the Embassy of Japan in France. It is now permanently installed at Medipolis Ibusuki, Kagoshima. At the centre of his practice today is an art form for the next generation — medicine you look at: Japanese aesthetics, technology, light and kotodama, the spirit that lives inside a word, compounded into a single image and prescribed under the name Art Supple.
