Born in 1981. French nationality. Doctor of Interdisciplinary Informatics.
While working as a researcher at NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC], he built a media art video archive based on an open license (Creative Commons). He also founded Creative Commons Japan (now Commonsphere), an NPO to promote Creative Commons licenses in Japan, and became a board member.
In 2008, he founded Divideal Inc., a company that plans, develops, and operates information services, and has developed numerous web services and smartphone applications, which were selected as Apple Best of AppStore in 2015 and 2016. The company was merged into Smart News, Inc. in January 2018.
Since April 2017, he has been an Associate Professor at the School of Culture, Media, and Society, Waseda University, where he will be a professor from 2022. His research focuses on the relationship between technology, humans, and more-than-human beings from the perspective of digital well-being. He has led the interdisciplinary research group "Ferment Media Research" since 2019.
He was certified as a Super Creator in the Exploratory IT Human Resource Development Program of the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA) in 2008. He received the 2008 Good Design Award for his work promoting Creative Commons in Japan.
In recent years, he has served as the exhibition director of the "traNslatioNs - Understanding Misunderstanding" (2020/2021) at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT, a jury member of the Good Design Award (2016-), and the creator of the "Nukabot", a fermentation robot that can communicate with humans and microorganisms. He has also created "Last Words / TypeTrace" (under the name of individual inc. with Takumi Endo), an art installation that collects the process of writing an unspecified number of imaginary wills, which has exhibited in Japan and abroad.
He is the author of "Japanese Modern Literature as Commons" (East Press), "Words to Create the Future: To Connect the Unintelligible" (Shinchosha), "Making and Moving ALife: An Introduction to Artificial Life Model Theory through Implementation" (O'Reilly Japan, July 2018, co-author), "Riddle Floor: The Editing Technique Where Thoughts Ferment" (Shobunsha, July 2017, co-author), "Cyborgs' Religio: Create Minds in the Big Data Society" (NTT Publishing, 2015), "Bringing the Internet to Life: Prochronism in Thought and Practice" (Seidosha, 2013), "A Guidebook for Creating Free Culture: Circulation of Creation through Creative Commons (Filmart-sha, 2012). He has also supervised the translation of Sandor Ellix Katz's "Fermentation as Metaphor" (O'Reilly Japan), Raphael Calvo and Dorian Peters' "Positive Computing" (BNN), and Murray Shanahan's "Singularity: From Artificial Intelligence to Superintelligence" (NTT Publishing).
