Based in London and Kyoto, Okaku explores the laws and transcendent forces that shape the world. Integrating theoretical frameworks from philosophy, religious studies, quantum mechanics, and information thermodynamics with myths, legends, and occult folklore, she combines collage, animation, VR, and AI technologies and performance to create works that encourage active participation from the audience and present diverse perspectives.
ロンドンと京都を拠点に活動し、世界を構成する法則や超越的な力に関心を持つ。哲学、宗教学、量子力学、情報熱力学などの理論体系に、神話、伝説、オカルトといった民間伝承を等しく織り交ぜ、コラージュ、アニメーション、VRやAIといった現代テクノロジーを複合的に用いながら、観客の能動的な参加を促し、多様な視点を提示する表現活動を展開している。
