kasumi

Kasumi is a media artist uniquely blending film and live-performance into dynamic videoart. Known internationally for her innovative work, she employs an arsenal of powerful digital technology to weave vibrant visuals and powerful audio into experiences of synaesthesia, with poignant cultural-political meaning. Kasumi’s richly expressive and compelling compositions have appeared worldwide at venues including from Carnegie Hall and Württembergischen Kunstverein Stuttgart. She has collaborated with the likes of Grandmaster Flash, DJ Spooky, and the New York Philaharmonic. Most recently Kasumi expanded her repertoire to include the role of executive producer of young filmmaker Kitao Sakurai’s feature, AARDVARK. Her video, “Breakdown, The Remix” was the 2010 Vimeo Awards Remix Winner, and in 2011, she was named a CPAC Creative Workforce Fellow and was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship.
