■ Kanta Sato (Mizutamari Bond Kanta)
Kanta Sato will be presenting his first art piece based on the physical sensations he has developed while continuing to be active in the world of the internet for 10 years as a YouTuber under the name Mizutamari Bond.

"Eye to Eye"
For 10 years, he has been making videos every day with sincerity. 4,000 videos.
I love the Internet, and I've seen many instances where it makes many people happy.
On the other hand, I think the Internet is like a knife or dynamite. I have seen many times how its illusory expansion can be either positive or negative depending on how it is used.
Even knowing that, I still want to believe it's a positive thing.
I felt that there was meaning and value in expressing the ambivalent feelings I've always had, and the world I've seen through my own eyes as Sato Kanta, who has been involved with the internet and video sites since YouTuber was still a subculture, on the greatest stage there is, that of art.
This is the 4,001st video, made possible by making 4,000 videos in total.
