KOBAYASHI Hiroyuki

The artist creates works incorporating cutting-edge technologies—such as AI image generation, 3D scanning, and 3D printing—centered on themes like the "recording of memory" and the distinction between "fact" and "truth." Starting with real-world objects, events, personal memories, and information accumulated within society, the artist uses digital technology to replicate, transform, and reconstruct these elements. Through this process, the work explores how memories and information shift in form across time and varying perspectives, thereby shaping our perceptions. By utilizing non-existent images generated by AI alongside real objects captured as 3D data, the artist presents works that highlight the fluidity found at the boundaries between reality and the virtual, the material and the informational, and fact and interpretation. Can something reproduced through technology truly be considered the original event or object itself? These works prompt us to question the nature of what we accept as "fact" and believe to be "truth," as well as how our memories and perceptions are continuously edited.
