Thank you 2025. I started learning MicroPython, Raspberry Pi Pico, and started doing interactive hardware in February. 10 months later I showcased my interactive hardware art for the first time in Japan and landed 1 solo show and 1 group show for 2026. My 2025 was all about not being afraid to do things people may think difficult and daunting. I’ll keep going forward and create even more fun stuff while supporting my beloved @artgumidao friends through 2026✨ Lots of love and let’s go forward together ✨ 2025年ありがとうございました。2月から初めてマイクロパイソンャラスベリパイを独学してハードウェアアートをどんどん作って、おかげさまで10ヶ月後福岡の展示で初めてインタラクティブハードウェアアートをショーケースできるようになりました。しかも2026年の個展とグループ展も決まりました。私にとって2025年は普段人が「めんどくさい」とか「難しそう」と思ってるものを怖がらないように少しずつ勉強する1年間でした。これからもアート組の仲間をサポートし合いながらどんどん新しい事を勉強して楽しいものを続けて作り出します。 2026年にも一緒に楽しんでいきましょう。 明けましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いします。✨

The famous Cliff Stoll is so sweet. He sent me photos of him with the Klein bottles he signed for me and my sister ♥️

I have been in traditional art in Japan since 2015, exhibiting in art fairs, winning awards, doing acrylic paintings, illustrations for agent, and brands in Osaka, etc. Since I turned digital and now doing interactive toy + hardware art + coding, people in trad art don’t understand me and don’t call me an artist anymore. They thought I quitted making art. To be honest, art, artist, creator, blah blah blah, whatever words I don’t really care. In fact I’m quite bored of being defined by others. I just want to keep creating what makes me feel fun and alive. At the end of the day, being an outcast of the art world gives me creative freedom and I’m enjoying it 😆

Been busy prepping for ArtGumi Exhibition in Fukuoka 5-14 Dec 2025. (More info via the link). I will be exhibiting my interactive diorama art for the first time. The art will be available online too. But if you are in town, experiencing the interaction would feel more fun ✨ https://x.com/artgumidao/status/1991088907296125411
