Makoto InoueJP
Makoto Inoue is a Berlin-based new media artist and techno producer whose work merges fractal visual structures, minimalist soundscapes, and Buddhist ideas of impermanence and rebirth.
Raised in a temple in Tokyo, he was steeped in Buddhist philosophy from childhood while also influenced by the city’s nightlife. He first built an international career as an actor and theatre director, performing in over 25 countries before fully transitioning into audiovisual art.
In 2024, he held his first solo exhibition Phenomenon Orchestra at Urban Spree Berlin and performed at BLINK Cincinnati, Blend BCN, DA Z Zurich, and MUTEK Tokyo. In 2025, he presented AV performances and installations across Europe, including at Portugal’s Imaginarius Festival and Berlin New Media Week, and produced the video work Tong Poo with marimba artist Ria Ideta.
His projects combine cinematic vision, digital abstraction, and theatrical methods, creating story-like experiences that are both meditative and danceable.
