Artist
Ryo Kajitani 梶谷 令
Tokyo-based queer artist and art model Ryo Kajitani, an asexual, channels trauma and experience of violence ‑informed insight into recursive image‑making. Trained in oil‑based woodblock printmaking at Tama Art University (BFA 2014) and armed with Heideggerian ontological aesthetics from his doctoral research, he now engineers Python‑driven photo collages exploring human–machine symbiosis. Recent career highlights include an exhibition at the Montage Award at the Meta Morph AI Award (UK), and finalist award status at the Asia Digital Art Award FUKUOKA (2024).
