Ken-ichi Kimura
(jimen-hunter)
Ken-ichi Kimura is a graphic designer, inspired by painting by artificial intelligence painter Aaron and is doing development project of Thinking Sketch to think about the meaning of painting.
He is often observing the jimen, but he is surprised that sometimes it is a very beautiful painting even when objects are coincidentally arranged. In order to find a beautiful layout, he carefully walks on the jimen. Just like painters of GUTAI painted paint on the canvas with whole body. Attempts to find beautiful things from many possibilities are very similar to those of Aaron’s artificial intelligence painter.
