赤松 正行（あかまつ まさゆき） 博士（美術）
1961年、兵庫県生まれ。メディア作家。神戸大学文学部哲学科心理学専攻卒業。神戸市役所ソーシャルワーカーを経て、1997年、岐阜県立国際情報科学芸術アカデミー（IAMAS）助教授に就任。2002年より教授。2006年、京都市立芸術大学大学院美術研究科にて博士（美術）を取得。2011年より情報科学芸術大学院大学メディア表現研究科教授、現在は研究科長。クリティカル・サイクリング主宰。
10代よりエレクトロニクスを用いた音楽制作を始め、1980年代からコンピュータを使用し、音楽だけでなく映像やネットワークなど様々なメディアへと制作範囲を広げる。特に、作品と鑑賞者の関係性や、作品自体の自律性に注目し、人とメディアの可能性を拡張することに興味を持っている。
これまでの作品には、50台のコンピュータによって音と映像を提示する「incubator」、鑑賞者の時間体験をリアルタイムに映像化する「Time Machine!」、画像解析を駆使した映像音響による即興ダンス「陶製の身体」、星と観察者の相互作用を映像化する「タレスの刻印」などがある。ソロやセッションによる演奏活動、および「2061:Maxオデッセイ」や「iOSの教科書」などの著作も多数ある。
近年はモビリティとリアリティをテーマとして、テクノロジーがもたらす人と社会への影響の考察に取り組んでいる。開発したiOS用アプリは「Decision」など50個以上、visionOS用アプリは「Spatial Poetry」など10個以上に及び、App Storeで公開している。これらは数十台のiPhoneによる展覧会「Okeanos Buoys」や、ARを応用した「セカイカメラ」、「ARアート・ミュージアム」、そしてウェアラブル・デバイス「雰囲気メガネ」などへと展開している。
また身体を拡張するテクノロジーとして自転車に注目し、日常的なサイクリングから社会的な考察や批評に至るまで多面的に活動している。これには自転車へのメディア・テクノロジーの転用や危機的な場所を巡るツーリングなどが含まれる。その成果はWEBサイト「Critical Cycling」にまとめており、公開している記事は1,000編近くに及んでいる。

Masayuki Akamatsu, Doctor of Arts
Born in Hyogo Prefecture in Japan in 1961. Media Artist. He graduated from Kobe University, Faculty of Literature, Department of Philosophy, Majoring in Psychology. After working as a social worker at Kobe City Hall, he became an assistant professor at the International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS) in 1997. He has been a professor since 2002.

Since 2011, he has been a professor at the Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS), and is currently the dean of the Institute. He is also the leader of “Critical Cycling”.
He began producing music using electronics in his teens, and began using computers in the 1980s, expanding his scope of production to include not only music but also various forms of media such as video and networks. In particular, he was interested in expanding the possibilities of people and media, focusing on the relationship between the work and the participants and the autonomy of the work itself.
Past works include “Incubator” which uses 50 computers to present sound and images, “Time Machine!” which visualizes the viewer’s time experience in real time, and “Earthen Bodied Augur” composed of audiovisual technology that uses image analysis to generate an improvised dance, and “Thales’ Engraving” which visualizes the interaction between stars and an observer. He has worked on solo and session performances, and has written many books such as “2061: Max Odyssey” and “iOS Textbook”.
In recent years, he has focused on the themes of mobility and reality, examining the impact brought about by technology on people and society. He has developed over 50 iOS apps, including “Decision,” and over 10 visionOS apps, including “Spatial Poetry,” which are available on the App Store. Projects include “Okeanos’ Buoys”, an exhibition featuring dozens of iPhones, “Sekai Camera” and “AR Art Museum” which uses AR, and a wearable device called “FUN’IKI Ambient Glasses.”
He also focuses on the bicycle as a technology that acts as an extension of the body, and his activities range from everyday cycling to social considerations and criticisms. Within this, it also includes repurposing media technology to bicycles and touring around critical locations. The results are summarized on the website “Critical Cycling,” and nearly 1,000 articles have been published.
