Akira Wakita is an artist and engineer who develops media and interfaces that enable humans to physically sense (touch, see, hear) invisible information hidden in the natural environment around us. He explores a new way of looking at the world throughout his works. His recent works focus on fluid-dynamic and thermodynamic models, and the visualization created by his original software successfully bridges the gap between science and art. He is also a professor of Environment and Information Studies at Keio University.
