Masaaki Oikawa

Through his involvement in large-scale 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 world's first 360-degree spherical image at Expo 2005 in Aichi.

He continues to produce works that appeal to the viewer's sensibilities, such as interactive images and handmade stop-motion animation works.
