Saito Mikio

Born in Sapporo, 1978. Saito Mikio went on to the Städelschule in Frankfurt in 2002, and acquired the Meisterschule qualification in 2007. He produces videos that appeal in both analog and digital ways by combing handwritten animation and CG. After engaging in solo exhibitions and other artistic activities overseas, he began to work out of Sapporo in 2009, and has since been involved in the screening of works at art events and art festivals in Japan and elsewhere, creating works at citizen participatory workshops and collaborating with musicians.
