Yoshi Sodeoka

Yoshi Sodeoka, originally from Yokohama, Japan, began his artistic career in New York City over three decades ago, studying at Pratt Institute. Primarily a video artist, he also incorporates printmaking into his practice, guided by his exploration of video art. Influenced by a range of inspirations including nature, mathematics, digital culture, and underground music, Sodeoka's work explores spatial perception and illusion. His creative process involves engaging viewers in immersive experiences by skillfully manipulating perspectives to construct unique spatial interpretations. With a style that transcends boundaries, Sodeoka's contributions have been recognized in publications like The New York Times and Wired Magazine. Collaborating with artists like Metallica and Tame Impala, his influence extends to permanent collections in institutions like the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Walker Art Center, and the Museum of Moving Image. Notably, in 2023, he was commissioned to create a digital mural painting at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, aiming to evoke emotion and inspiration.
