Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKanta Horio is a Tokyo-based founder, sound artist, and engineer with over a decade of experience designing performances, installations, and commercial interactive devices that translate physical phenomena—sound, light, magnetism, and motion—into novel audiovisual experiences. Trained in acoustics and computer music (Master of Design, Kyushu Institute of Design), he combines hands-on electronics (electromagnets, motors, LEDs, custom circuits) with artistic practice to create internationally exhibited works and functional products such as instruments and film installations. Since founding Ponoor Experiments in 2019 and freelancing under 4nchor5 la6, he has bridged experimental research and client-facing engineering, delivering both conceptual artworks and pragmatic interactive systems. His background as a research assistant at Tokyo Polytechnic and Tama Art University underscores a methodical, research-driven approach to tinkering and prototyping. An understated strength is his ability to convert subtle physical interactions into compelling sensory narratives, making technical complexity feel immediate and playful.
