plaplax ltd.

Shince its launch in 2004 under the leadership of Motoshi Chikamori, Kyoko Kunoh and Yasuaki Kakehi, plaplax has created and presented collaborative works.

Chikamori and Kunoh began their collaboration as a media products group “minim++” in 2000. “minim++” communicates its message by way of simple, everyday things and events, which it alters slightly, and then alters a little more. Their interactive works have been featured internationally in such venues as Ars Electronica, SIGGRAPH, Centre Pompidou and Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography etc.

Kakehi is Ph.D. candidate at Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Informative Studies, the University of Tokyo. He researches and develops interactive media technologies.  His works have been presented at numerous exhibitions including SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies and Japan Media Arts Festival.
