It is essential for the new arts to collaborate with other arts and things because of the development of net work circumstance. I believe that we have to have a perspective vision in creating arts, and that we need to synchronize with people from different fields standing on the common platform and understanding mutually.
From the first half of 1990’s on, I have made others to involved in my pieces, and mainly presented the collaboration art works.
