YOSHI SODEOKA


Video, Sound, and Print Art & Beyond




Yoshi Sodeoka is an artist working across video, print, and digital media, with a practice that includes immersive video installation. His work explores the boundaries between perception, abstraction, and systems logic—drawing from experimental music culture and the structural language of math and digital technology.

Through generative processes and layered time-based compositions, Sodeoka creates visual experiences that shift between intensity and calm, chaos and order. His aesthetic often incorporates diagrammatic overlays—lines, vectors, symbolic forms—that evoke how machines attempt to read the world, while embracing ambiguity and contradiction. The result is a visual language that feels both engineered and intuitive.

His projects span fine art, editorial, and music contexts. He has collaborated with musicians such as Metallica, Psychic TV, Tame Impala, Oneohtrix Point Never, Beck, The Presets, and Max Cooper. His illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, Wired, The Atlantic, and MIT Technology Review. He has also been commissioned as an artist by brands such as Apple, Samsung, Adidas, and Nike.

Sodeoka’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Centre Pompidou, Tate Britain, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Deitch Projects, La Gaîté Lyrique, the Museum of the Moving Image, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and Laforet Museum Harajuku. His work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of the Moving Image, and SFMOMA.

Originally from Yokohama, Japan, he moved to New York in the 1990s to study at Pratt Institute and has been part of the city’s art scene since.
