Toshio Iwai at Futuresonic

Toshio Iwai at Futuresonic

Two years ago, I was lucky to have been an audience at the NIME 04 conference in Japan, where the keynote speakers were Robert Moog and Toshio Iwai. It was my first time hearing Toshio Iwai talk about his work, and I was completely floored. Since then, I've hailed him as the uber rockstar of interactive art. His works are phenomenal.

Apparently he was also keynote speaker at Futuresonic 06 in Manchester. Chris from pixelsumo recorded this video of the keynote, with Iwai talking about his early inspiration and explaining how his piano piece works, which was a collaboration project between him and pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Here's the video

Regine also has a report on Iwai's keynote presentation.
