Yoichi Ochiai (落合 陽一, Yoichi Ochiai, born 16 September 1987) is a Japanese academic [1] and media artist. [2] [3] He has a doctorate from the University of Tokyo. He is also an associate professor at the University of Tsukuba Library, as well as an Information and Media Associate Professor [4] and Director of the Centre for Digital Nature Development and Research. [5] Specially-appointed professor at Digital Hollywood University, visiting professor at Osaka University of Arts and Kyoto City University of Arts, [6] Visiting Professor at Kanazawa College of Art. [7]
He has been working as a media artist since around 2010. As a media artist, he has several solo [8] and group exhibitions [9] per year, as well as an international communication of Japanese culture. [10]
Ochiai's activities range from research to social implementation and are not limited to the expression of electronic technology. Ochiai states, "The vernacular, popular art and production process for local consumption, using something from the 'natural' environment to create a work of art, has not changed since ancient times, whether it is Japanese or Western painting" [11] and considers media art as "Vernacular Art of Digital Nature". [12]
Engaged in research with a vision of digital nature, [13] he has been running his own 'Digital Nature Laboratory' at the University of Tsukuba since 2015, [14] and has also been the director of the "Digital Nature Development Research Centre" since 2020. [15] [16] He specialises in media arts as well as 'human computer interaction' and applied fields using 'intelligent technology' and 'audio-visual technology'. application areas. [17]
His publications in the laboratory are in the fields of human-computer interaction, [17] virtual reality, aerial displays and spatial graphics, [18] in the field of research on collaboration and co-creation between artificial intelligence and human intelligence, [19] and in the fields of accessibility and diversity. [20] As a researcher, he has received the World Technology Award and the Laval Virtual Award from Laval Virtual, Europe's largest VR festival, five times in four consecutive years.[ citation needed]

[22] Projects such as automated wheelchairs, diversity-enabled entertainment (Concerts without Hearing by Ear) [23] and walking with prosthetic legs (Otome Prosthetic Legs Project) [24] and other projects aiming to adapt machine learning techniques to various bodily diversities.

From the 'Century of Film' to the 'Century of Magic'. It is more than 70 years since the invention of the computer, prompted by the Second World War. The 'Century of Film', in which people are connected by sharing the reality on the screen, has come to an end, and the 'Century of Magic', in which media integrated into the environment are ubiquitous, has arrived. Yoichi Ochiai, a 28-year-old researcher and media artist who has attracted international attention, brings to light the essence of the decisive changes taking place in the world today, from the perspective of both technology and art. What is the shape of the 'coming future' brought about by computers that have begun to interfere with things outside the screen? ......? [87]
A sufficiently advanced computational group is indistinguishable from nature--. Digital Nature, that is the vision and manifesto of the future proposed by Yoichi Ochiai. Postmodernity and Singularity are only one element of this 'new nature'. Human beings and society are undeniably being renewed. It will bring about a redefinition of happiness, of the economy and of democratic politics. The new paradigm starts here: ......! 'We can create a world without 'gates' and 'seams', replace standardisation with diversity, and transcend the obsessions of human nature, such as individual happiness and insecurity, through technology. All we need is a vision and a passion for the future towards which technology is heading." (From the Afterword) [88]
