Ryuta Aoki
Ryuta is a creator, artistic leader, conceptual designer, system architect, software developer, entrepreneur, and social artist situated in Tokyo. He characterizes his Learning Artifact, SOTOROJI, as a component of a sequence of spatial tools that transition from the mundane to the remarkable, employing the contemporary social opportunity of “viewing a QR code and scanning it with a camera,” just as soto-roji (the outer garden) in the Japanese tea ritual acts as an area guiding towards a realm of deep subtleties. SOTOROJI was showcased as an art installation at the Devcon venue, observed by numerous attendees.
