Mori's photography process involves many self-portraits with hand-made costumes and thematic elements, including aliens and robots. One of her most recognized works is from an early point in her career, entitled Play With Me. She dressed up as an overly sexualized alien woman and posed in acts of every day life. Her tableau pieces often emphasize a futuristic setting meshed with the traditional role women are faced with.

« I must create the world in order to breathe in the world; I don't exist unless I create. »
Mariko Mori

Mori also explores philosophical aspects in her works of art. She expresses a deep connection to nature to help explore the concepts of consciousness, death and modern technology. Through this exploration, she has created interactive installations, such as Wave UFO.

What is Digital Art?

Digital art refers to artistic practices or works that utilize digital technology as an essential component of both the creation and presentation process. Since the 1970s, various terms like multimedia and computer art have been used to describe this practice. Digital art is a subset of the broader category known as new media art, which has brought significant changes to the art world. Technology has transformed traditional forms of painting, drawing, sound/music, and sculpture into new digital formats, expanding the possibilities of artistic expression.
