Biography of Yoko Kajio
Working in the field of installation art, moving image, photography, sound, and art performance.
In a world consisting of competing forces; the synthetic seeks to dominate the natural; virtual reality and the spiritual seek to become more real than real. Like Yin and Yang there needs to be a balance. Kajio’s work seeks to express nature though technology as her insignificant part in redressing the balance between the synthetic and the natural.
