VISION

Advance the creativity of mankind
with Art and Technology

MISSION

Our mission is to open up the frontier of creativity through the production of artwork, and contribute to building a society where more people can work, learn and live more creatively by developing AI tools for artists, companies and individuals.

WHY ART ?

Why is art necessary for technology development and business?
We believe that as digital technology, especially AI technology, is becoming more prevalent, solutions are becoming commodities.
The more you strive for optimization, the narrower the range of answers that are considered suitable. Everybody gets the same answer if everybody seeks the optimum.
The value lies in differences. Commoditized optimal solutions are sure to bring price competition. In this society and business world, it is not the optimal solution that has value, but novel perspectives that help to find a unique problem.
