My Take
Ochiai's business card must be exhausting: media artist, professor, entrepreneur, University of Tokyo doctorate. Most people pick one lane. He treats research and art as a single act he calls digital nature, and the Prix Ars Electronica and World Technology Award say it works. Facing null-squared, I grasp maybe half, which is why I keep watching.
