Profile

[Nao Usami]
Graduated from the Graduate School of Video, Tokyo University of the Arts.
Recently, he has been producing games using 3DCG. It explores the creation of positive parallel worlds by using games that expand choice to break away from all categorizations, including gender, race, and class. The game medium is used to create a world in which players can choose from multiple options. By expanding the body and fusing it with human and non-human objects, he is thinking of a body that can be separated from existing values, transcends the limits of the body, and can be chosen by oneself.
