This piece is inspired by COUNTERBLAST by Marshall McLuhan, and mainly about the pattern recognition in this Information Age. Recognize the pattern in this age of massive information - So much information, it’s had reached the level of abstraction - and recognize where we are heading or you will be the blind for whom all things appear to be sudden.
Originally from Hyogo, Japan, Kenzo graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Product Design after majoring literature and philosophy in Japan.
