Kasumi uses contemporary and developing technology to alchemize physical materials, digital media, and live performance into works of art. Her work is driven by her interest in conceptualizing the movements, expressions and gestures from which we construct our current reality. 

The staggering range of her methods and media is evidenced not just by her awards – including the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship – but also by the works themselves: from prints, paintings, collage and wearable art to video art installations at the Rocket Mortgage Field House; at Lincoln Center with The New York Philharmonic and Carnegie Hall; performances with Grandmaster Flash and DJ Spooky; public art at The Cleveland Museum of Art, DC Tower, Vienna, and Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires; VR 360, post-production, and gifs for The Eric Andre Show; and interactive art-making apps for iPhone and Android.

​Artist Statement

My work is about memory and the echo chambers of memory - a perpetual feedback loop of patterns that creates consciousness. 

​I use the symbols, images, and gestures that encode meaning and form the units from which we tell our stories, and that paradoxically both limit and expand human possibility.
 
My raw materials are clips of moving images culled from the scraps of mid-20th Century mass media and early 80's Japanese popular culture. These materials are at one and the same time the contents of electronic archives and the unconscious reservoir that feeds our current dreams.
