YUGO NAKAMURA

When Yugo Nakamura unveiled Version 2.0 of MONOcrafts in 1999, it caused a sensation. One of the first designers to use the new Flash 4 software, Nakamura had devised fluid, naturalistic images which proved how powerful it could be. MONOcrafts was the product of nearly a decade of experimentation by Nakamura since he had discovered digital media in 1990. Born in Nara in 1970, he studied civil engineering and landscape architecture at Tokyo University and then spent four years building bridges.

Nakamura's interest in digital media was sparked by his desire to create an abstract version of that relationship and also to make things by hand. Through MONOcrafts and subsequent projects, Nakamura, now based in Tokyo, has striven to replicate the exquisite detailing and refinement of traditional Japanese craftsmanship on the web.
