Sachiko Kodama is a Japanese artist who links emerging natural phenomena with
plastic art to create mixed media works that reference the relationship between
organic form/motion and light/sound. After graduating in Physics from the
Department of Science at Hokkaido University, Sachiko enrolled in the Fine Arts
program at the University of Tsukuba, where she obtained her master and PhD in
Art and Design. Currently she is an associate professor of Art the University of
Electro-Communications in Tokyo. In 2000 Sachiko began work on a ferrofluid art
project that she named "Protrude, Flow". In 2009-10 she studied digital design
techniques in New York to create new media artworks. Her work has been exhibited
in major Japanese, US and European museums. In 2020, for her open studio program
at the Fuchu Art Museum, she created a light-based artwork and two "magnetic
fluid sculptures".

Robert Buelteman calls photography "The language of light" and has spent his
life exploring the possibilities of the medium in pursuit of a more responsible
relationship with the natural world. Working directly with large sheets of
photographic film, living plants are used as a filter through which high-voltage
electricity and fiber-optically-delivered light are passed. The resulting images
open a window on the beauty of natural form, and were compared by the Los
Angeles Times with photographs of our universe made by the Hubble Telescope. As
a result of this new work, he has had over 60 solo exhibitions in the United
States, Canada and Germany, and been the subject of essays published in 26
languages on 6 continents. His art can be found in public and private
collections worldwide.
