Takehito Etani on September 28, 2011
Takehito Etani creates work in a wide range of media, such as wearable technology, installations, sculpture, performance, video, and modified photographs. His work often deals with the body and its relationships to technology; mundane reality is where Etani looks for the possibility for self-transmutation. His work has been shown internationally, including at the International Symposium of Electronic Art in 2006, and featured in various publications dealing with art and technology. Etani received his bachelor of fine art's degree from Pratt Institute and his master of fine art's degree from Carnegie Mellon University. In 2006, he attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. For more information on Etani, visit http://www.takehitoetani.com/.
