Shōei Matsuda is a contemporary artist whose practice explores the relationship between technology and life through poetic and conceptual interventions, pioneering new forms of artistic expression within our post-digital society. In recent years, Matsuda has focused on reappropriating the collective languages and symbols embedded in contemporary culture through an approach that he refers to as “techno-imagination.” By challenging conventional modes of perception and interpretation, he prompts viewers to reconfigure their ways of seeing and thinking.
