About Goh

Goh Uozumi is an artist working in the field of Art & Technology.
His works have focused on the ‘trends of automation in civilization,’ in which humans use technology to mechanize intelligence, contracts, labor, creation, trust, and life.

He studied Media Art under Professor Seiko Mikami and works with algorithm-based methodologies that are capable of incorporating non-human intelligence/existence.

He has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (2020), Asia Culture Center (2019), Hong Kong Arts Centre (2018), NTT InterCommunication Center (2016), ZINC+SecondNature (2015), Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (2012), and Japan Media Arts Festival (2010), among others.

He held a solo show of immersive audiovisual installation, Mk. God , in 2023 as the grand prize winner of the first Mynavi Award.

In 2020, he exhibited a large-scale work consisting of composite pieces, New Economic War at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. It focuses on the fact that humans are now able to operate massless things as *new resources*, including consciousness, thought, relationships with others, behavioral characteristics, social institutions, and all kinds of data. 

Since 2015, he has released three works reflecting on the world transformation through algorithms, taking advantage of the emergence of cryptocurrency, a technology that has successfully mechanized *trust,* once the exclusive property of nature, like love, etc., that is, making ‘God’ socially unnecessary in ‘In God We Trust.’

空の国家 -State of Empty that artificial intelligence creates a (nation) state for itself, and New Order/Siren Call?  that visualizes cryptocurrency and distributed ledger as an origin of new social order were created as commissioned works by NTT InterCommunicationCenter[ICC] in 2016.
And the origin of the both works, Trustless Trust/Mk.God that evokes memories of future artificial systems won the grand prize of Digital Choc Award 2015 by Institut Francais Tokyo, Zinc, and SecondNature.

In his early career, he belonged to Waseda University’s Lab for Molecular Cell Network as a visiting researcher of Bio Art in 2014.
In 2012, OBSERVER N that extends theory-of-life reality by decentralized autonomous network system, was commissioned by The Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media[YCAM] , and his first major work, F – void sample that goes across the void and perception, won the encouragement prize of the 2009 Japan Media Art Festival.
