赤松　正行（あかまつ　まさゆき）　博士（美術）

1961年、兵庫県生まれ。メディア作家。神戸大学文学部哲学科心理学専攻卒業。神戸市役所ソーシャルワーカーを経て、1997年、岐阜県立国際情報科学芸術アカデミー（IAMAS）助教授に就任。2002年より同アカデミー教授。2006年、京都市立芸術大学大学院美術研究科にて博士（美術）を取得。2011年より情報科学芸術大学院大学、教授。

10代半ばよりエレクトロニクスを用いた音楽制作を始め、1980年からはコンピュータを使用、音楽だけでなく映像やネットワークなど様々なメディアへと制作範囲を広げる。特に、作品と鑑賞者の関係性や、作品自体の自律性に注目し、人とメディアの可能性を拡張することに興味を持っている。

代表作には、50台のコンピュータによって音と映像を提示する「incubator」、鑑賞者の時間体験をリアルタイムに映像化する「Time Machine!」、パフォーマーの身体をコンピュータ制御する「Flesh Protocol」、ラジオ放送を解読してロボットが演奏する「decipher」、画像解析を駆使した映像音響による即興ダンス「陶製の身体」などがある。ソロやセッションによる演奏活動も多く、「Maxの教科書」（共著）や「iPhone SDKの教科書」などの著作もある。また、neumannpianoおよびThe Breadbaord Bandのメンバーとしても活動中。

近年はモバイル・デバイスにおける表現研究や、人と社会への影響の考察に取り組んでいる。特に、開発したiPhone用ネイティブ・アプリケーションは30個を超え、App Storeで公開している他、数十台のiPhoneによる展示・パフォーマンス「Snowflakes」、「Okeanos Buoys」などの作品制作や、ソーシャルARシステム「セカイカメラ（頓智・）」などへと展開している。

Masayuki Akamatsu, Ph.D (Fine Arts)

Masayuki Akamatsu is a media producer, born in Hyogo, Japan, in 1961. He studied psychology at Kobe University and worked as a social worker for the city of Kobe until 1997, when he started to work at the International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences as an associate professor. From 2002, he became a professor at the same university. Akamatsu received the degree of Ph.D at the Graduate School of Art of the Kyoto University of Arts in 2006.

Since the 1980’s he made use of the computer to create works not only in the field of music, but also in the field of video arts and networking, focusing on the relation between an artwork and the audience and the autonomy of an artwork itself.

His characteristic works include: “incubator” (2000), which projects audio-visual events with fifty computers; “Time Machine!” (2002-), which visualizes the audience’s experience of time in real time; “Flesh Protocol” (2002), which controls the performer’s body with a computer; “Earthen Bodied Augur” (2007), which realizes the audio-visual improvisational dance using an image analysis. He has published many books including “Max Textbook ” (Ritto-Music, 2009, co-author) and “iPhone SDK Textbook” (Syuwa System, 2009).Akamatsu is also active in performing live electronic music. He has not only soloed but also participated in many sessions and played as a member of “The Breadboard Band”.

Recently, Akamatsu’s research is concerning the expression of mobile devices and their personal and social influence. He has produced over thirty iPhone applications and published them at the App Store. His mobile artworks include: “Sekai Camera” (2008-, Tonchidot), which realizes a social AR system, and “Snowflakes” (2008-) and “Okeanos Buoys” (2010), which project audio-visual experiences over dozens of iPhones.
