Kasumi is a media artist uniquely blending film and live-performance into dynamic videoart. Known internationally for her innovative work, she employs an arsenal of powerful digital technology to weave vibrant visuals and powerful audio into experiences of synaesthesia, with poignant cultural-political meaning. Kasumi’s richly expressive and compelling compositions have appeared at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Württembergischen Kunstverein Stuttgart and the Chroma Festival de Arte Audiovisual. With a passion for collaboration, she has created distinctive media art for a myriad of projects and performed alongside the likes of Grandmaster Flash, DJ Spooky, Modeselektor, New York Philaharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, and American Composers Orchestra. Kasumi has most recently expanded her repertoire to include the role of executive producer of young filmmaker Kitao Sakurai’s acclaimed feature, AARDVARK. She received an EMPAC DANCE MOViES Commission for her looping video installation, “MO-SO,” and her video “Breakdown, The Remix” won the 2010 Vimeo Remix Award.

The Creative Workforce Fellowship is a program of the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture, made possible by the generous support of Cuyahoga County Citizens through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.
