Ryuta Aoki
Ryuta is an artist, creative director, conceptual designer, system architect, software program engineer, entrepreneur, and social sculptor primarily based in Tokyo. Ryuta describes his Studying Artifact, SOTOROJI, as a part of a collection of spatial gadgets that lead from the odd to the extraordinary, using the fashionable social affordance of “seeing a QR code and scanning it with a digicam,” simply as soto-roji (the outer backyard) within the Japanese tea ceremony serves as an area resulting in a world of profound subtlety. SOTOROJI was featured as an artwork piece on the Devcon venue, seen by hundreds of attendees.
