Seiko started her career in 1984 with huge installations to express
 "Information Society and Body". In 90s she lived and studied in NY, and
since 1995, has actively produced cutting-edge interactive works at Canon
ARTLAB, NTT InterCommunication Center[ICC), and since 00s at YCAM, her
works have been shown in many countries worldwide.

Seiko was a charismatic and energetic, at the same time very frank and
communicative, and had always various people around her.

We believe Seiko will alive vividly in our memories and keep inspiring us.
