Shunji MITSUYOSHI
ARTIST/SCIENTIST
The work of Shunji Mitsuyoshi, Japanese the most powerful sculptor, is well known in modern artircles, and MITSUYOSHI.Lab.Shunji Mitsuyoshi started his career as a sculptor in 1990.
He created and presented his art works to the public while studying super-reinforced polymer concrete as a new molding material.
He created a public monument
declared as “an important cultural asset” in his twenties, and followed with
many projects as a futurist artist in a short time.At the age of 30, receiving
the investment of two billion yen, he invented the sensibility computer. He
has had a lot of influence -from the movies to the game business, and founded
his own venture company.
Has capital tie-up with Jim Clark's Silicon Graphics, Inc.
Japanese corporation.After
graduating from Art University, he became Visiting Scientist at Stanford University
Bio-Robotics Laboratory, Department of Engineering.
He takes an active part as project leader in the research "Unite the
human brain and the sensibility computer" with budget from the Japanese
Government.
He is a pioneer who spent ten years inventing “a new area of Computer Science
by uniting Psychology and Quantum Mechanics and The General Theory of Relativity"
at international society IEEE.
He used the material to create art pieces and wrote and presented theses about
it. In 1992 he joined in the project to restore the exterior of the Main Building
of Ministry of Justice in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo which is commonly known as "the
Red-brick Government Building" and designed its new facade. Based on
this experience, he started to study about a new style of formative art to
explore his theme of "sculptures where people can live" aiming to
combine sculptures with architecture and established "archisculpture"
as a new genre of architectural art. Through his activities, he received many
awards such as "1991 International Impact Art Festival Prize for the
Best Japanese Work" and "1992 Tokyo Exhibition Prize for Modern
Art Division". Mitsuyoshi had a turning point in 1995 when he operated
a computer for the first time in his life in order to use internet. He created
and opened his own homepage already in the next day and became the first Japanese
sculptor who was listed and introduced by "YAHOO". About a week
after, he created "3D Interactive Virtual City" and expanded his
activities in the field of computer. In 1996, Mitsuyoshi started to devote
himself to create CG art while he studied advanced artificial intelligence
and developed MAIS, the urban super-infrastructure system. As the archisculptor,
he was involved in the redevelopment of the East Exist area of Omiya Station
as well as designed the Optical Intelligent Tower in Kumamoto Prefecture.
In 1997, he founded Mitsuyoshi Laboratory Corporation (MLC) and became President.
He worked on the development of 3D CG technology which even drew the attention
of Hollywood as well as of artificial intelligence. He also developed the
laser 3D formative technology and created a new style of formative art making
the best use of polymer technology. On the other hand, he also developed his
academic career in various fields; he made a presentation of his thesis at
"the Second East Asia Symposium on Polymers in Concrete" in Koriyama
City and completed his theorem of theoretical physics, " a theorem of
existence and potential" and he discovered a theory of quantitative valuation,
"Quantal". He also developed the world's first game software of
speech understanding in the field of CG in cooperation with Universe Development
Inc. In 1998, Mitsuyoshi produced CG visual for a TV drama by TV Asahi as
well as the CG opening sequence "Human Dream" for Shochiku Movies.
He was selected to be CG Director for a Shochiku movie called "Floods
over Japan" (based on a novel by Sakyo Komatsu) which will be released
in 2000. He also studied and developed application software especially utilizing
CG and structured a nationwide network of medical systems as well as a basic
system for sensitive information processing system. Because of his innovative
activities and excellent achievements in a broad range of fields, his outstanding
works and products as well as his unique inspirations and ideas, Mitsuyoshi
often appears in mass media. Currently he is involved in various projects
which mainly apply the advanced digital technology and systems in cooperation
with Japanese and foreign companies. is privileged to have been involved in
