Q: What is the medium of art you deal with?
A: Typography, photography, and other simple ways of communication.

Q: When did you start becoming dedicated to your means of artistic expression? What was the trigger?
A: It all started when I was in high school when I first read this sub-cultural design magazine called "relax". My very first design on my own was when I was 20. It was a design for a flier of an event that my friend and I organized ourselves.

Q: What/Where do you get your inspirations from?
A: My inspirations do not come from concrete and objective ideas but rather from abstract concepts that happen to ponder into my head. Once I have the concept, I can begin to imagine and develop the design.

Q: What made you join this SIR exhibition?
A: I like the fact that through these SIR exhibits, I am exposed to so many different types of artists and an even wider range of styles and expression.

Q: Tell us a little bit about your vision of your art work at the show "Colorless Spectrum". How do you interpret the theme Colorless Spectrum?
A: "Colorless Spectrum" has some implications of both, a start and an end. I plan to further develop this concept and wish to present it in a very simple fashion.

Q: Do you love Japan?
A: Of course!

Q: Do you have any message to the audience?
A: At this show, you will be able to witness a gallery filled with genre-breaking experimental art. See you all at the space gallery!

Ruk Short

Q: What is the medium of art you deal with?
A: All sorts. I prefer 'running into' my mediums like finding old stuff or to put it rather bluntly, I'll use whatever happens to be around me.

Q: When did you start becoming dedicated to your means of artistic expression? What was the trigger?
A: The start is hard to pin point but theres roots in the art lessons I took as a child in Japan. From there, it was just layers of exposure to various art experiences over the years.

Q: What/Where do you get your inspirations from?
A: I start with science, nature, and the city. Im also particular in the age of the information. Fond of old scientific illustrations, instruments, and so forth.

Q: What made you join this SIR exhibition?
A: Can't possibly pass up an opportunity like this to be work along with some of these experimental artists of SIR.

Q: Tell us a little bit about your vision of your art work at the show "Colorless Spectrum". How do you interpret the theme Colorless Spectrum?
A: Well, honestly, its still rather quite vague but it should be multi-dimensional. There will definitely be a sense of time and a warm tone to it all. Some lights maybe. The concept of Colorless Spectrum can be extracted in all sorts of directions it looks like; I see a circular spectrum not with a separate beginning and an end but connected. Colorlessness of the spectrum perhaps refers to the idea that theoretically with all colors combined gives you true white light.

Q: Do you love Japan?
A: Yes. The food, especially.

Q: Do you have any message to the audience?
A: Tell 'em its a show.
