Tokyo-based artist, interaction designer,
programmer, and DJ.
Launched Rhizomatiks in 2006. Since 2015, has
served alongside Motoi Ishibashi as co-director
of Rhizomatiks Research, the firm’s division
dedicated to exploring new possibilities in the
realms of technical and artistic expression with
a focus on R&D-intensive projects.
Specially-appointed professor at Keio University
SFC.
Manabe’s work in design, art, and entertainment
takes a new approach to everyday materials and
phenomenon. However, his end goal is not simply
rich, high-definition realism by recognizing and
recombining these familiar elemental building
blocks. Rather, his practice is informed by
careful observation to discover and elucidate
the essential potentialities inherent to the
human body, data, programming, computers, and
other phenomena, thus probing the
interrelationships and boundaries delineating
the analog and digital, real and virtual.
