“mimizu means earthworm, Ends at 222”

"This “Digital Stitch” is the result of a large number of boundaries being woven. this is something I arrived at during my work on the theme of “earthworm that can hear music”. ...Have you ever seen a dancing worm?"

Leftovers of worms. Or someone else's leftovers. Or leftover.

"This is Happy Chaos"

A label by Kazumasa Teshigawara focused on Digital Art

"The intuition that impels the masters to create beautiful things, that is, to express the sense of perfection through things ugly and imperfect, is apparently closely related to art. The Zen masters may not make good philosophers, but they are very frequently fine artists." -- Daisetz Suzuki

"From a technical perspective, I have no idea how the work is created, only that it stands in stark contrast to the increasingly homogenous world of generative art. Though I’d normally probe to better understand the process behind the work this is the rare case where I am happy to let the mystery be." -- Jason Bailey, aka, Artnome

"I am interested in something that can be created without my intention…"

"MIMIZU means earthworm in Japanese. I was like a worm store owner who collects beautiful worms from all over the world, and collectors who like unique MIMIZU come to his store."

"I thought, the letters MIMIZU might be allowed to be inverted. This led me to the idea of "inverting" mimizu - wiwizn."

"I think that what art is all about is different for each person, but it's useless for me. Useless for what you need. And that useless thing is necessary for me to be human."

qubibi influenced by, among others: Dusan Makavejev Aubrey Beardsley Shigeru Mizuki James Paterson

"I’m inspired by things that happen "by chance". I think that it is only through such encounters that I can connect with my life and with my art."

"... color is everything. Color creates shape."

"I believe that ultimately the art must have a strong concept or set of rules."

"If art is a piece of work, then the purpose of creating it belongs to that particular piece. For myself, I have no objective for my art, and therefore, there is nothing to achieve.

However, if I could use art to ultimately connect and/or continue to connect myself to the world (which contains everything outside of myself), I would die a happy man."

"The real beauty that we can enjoy in true and pure aesthetics is neither beautiful nor ugly, it is the magical state that happens before any of the concepts have found voice in the intellect." -- Andrew Juniper

"Just as each person contains a hidden universe within themselves, an earthworm might also carry an ancient landscape that stretches infinitely under a brilliant sun. Or maybe we’ll find an endless expanse of outer space dotted with numerous stars. And all of these worlds and elements are pulsating… with music!"

"For me, I want generative art to be an act of quietly watching over the clashing of rules and chaos."

I tend to divide artworks into two — those that radiate outwards and those that absorb viewers inwards. My output falls into the latter category.

While my work is not simply audio visualization, without music there would be no artwork. I feel that music is critical to any broader definition of “art.”

Over time, even scraps can become gems, as long as they survive.
