Sachiko Kodama

Kodama was born in 1970 in Kagoshima Prefecture. She has presented interactive works in ”Bouncing Star Ball Project,” in which people interact with images projected in space by moving their bodies while using a ball.

In recent years, based on the principle of indirect light, she has presented kinetic light artworks “Lattice Window Series,” in which image of colored light changes slowly as if it melts into a lattice.

Kodama’s works, which are visually dynamic and sometimes subtly change without being noticed, are exhibited in galleries, museums, and public spaces in Japan and overseas.

Born in Japan in 1970.

The expressions in her ferrofluid sculptures exist in the generation of organic forms and movement using ferrofluid, to present growing forms, contraction, rhythm, composition of curved surface and light, and emerging subtle/dynamic textures. In 2002 she was awarded the grand prize at the 5th Media Art Festival, Agency for Cultural Affairs, Japan.

The main expressions of her ferrofluid sculpture can be seen in the generation of organic forms and movement using ferrofluid, to present growing forms, atrophy, rhythm, composition of curved surface and light, and other texture generation.Furthermore, the contradictory nature of ferrofluid (hard/soft, beautiful/ugly, growth/atrophy, attraction/repulsion, and rise against gravity/fall due to gravity) can communicate similar contradictory concepts and ideas in living organisms.

Her work has been exhibited at Ars Electronica Center /Linz, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Wexner Center for the Arts/Columbus, Skirball Cultural Center /Los Angeles, The National Art Center/Tokyo, Reina Sofia National Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.Kodama is currently an associate professor at University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo.

The structure of his sculptures is based on magnetic spirals, manipulated using technology that controls the power of the electromagnet. The contradictory nature of ferrofluid (hard/soft, beautiful/ugly, growth/atrophy, attraction/repulsion, and rise against gravity/fall due to gravity) can communicate similar contradictory concepts and ideas in living organisms.

In parallel with her ferrofluid art project, Kodama has been creating works that use various media.

This practice became since then the signature of most of her works. In his artistic work he explores the dynamic movement of liquids.

Alife 2023 (The 2023 Conference on Artificial Life): Art Exhibition “Unconscious Relationship”, Hokkaido University, 2023.

This area is rich in tropical flowers and plants, edged by the sea, and washed with warm rain. The dynamic movement of liquids is the theme of this project. The shapes and vibrations of the liquid depend on the intensity of the magnetic field and the surface undergoes changes in its texture, going from a liquid to a solid state. As a child she spent a lot of time in the southernmost part of Japan.

She received Ph.D. It is a subtropical area whose biological diversity greatly inspired her curiosity toward art and science. She graduated in Physics from the Department of Science at Hokkaido University in 1993 then shifting her focus, and entered the University of Tsukuba’s Graduate School of Art and Design.
