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

In 2020, he showed New Economic War that is being waged in today’s world, where mass-less things have come to be operated as *New Resources*, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
Exploring the increasingly complex technologies and structures of domination, the work questions autonomy within the world system, or democracy in the essential sense of whether we can decide for ourselves.

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 2014, he belonged to Waseda University’s Lab for Molecular Cell Network as a visiting researcher of Bio Art.

In his early career, OBSERVER N that extends theory-of-life reality by decentralized autonomous network system, was commissioned by The Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media[YCAM] in 2012, and his first major work, F – void sample that goes across the void and perception, won the excellence prize of the 2009 Japan Media Art Festival.

MOT Annual is a group exhibition featuring young Japanese artists that invites inquiry and discussion by focusing on a particular aspect of contemporary art. The 16th MOT Annual will look at the workings of invisible powers in nature and society that affect people and things, through four artists and an artist duo who attempt to reconstruct the mechanisms behind such powers.

My interview and essay about rewriting the public protocols in our society with the distributed ledger. I showed what the original evolvability of this field is and a critique for this trend.

I wrote an essay about Trustlss Trust and my recent art activities to Gendai-Shiso(=Contemporary Philosophy). With “what is the trustless” at the core, I summarized the history of Bitcoin and the ideological background in cryptocurrency such as cypher punk, and the results in my art based on them. It’s the essence and fundamentals about why art should work on this movement.
