Born in Chiba in 1992 and based between Tokyo and Chiba, Yuka Numata is an artist whose practice bridges the digital and physical worlds. A graduate of Tokyo University of the Arts in 2022, with further studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, she explores the fluid space between two- and three-dimensional forms. Using software such as Photoshop, Numata deliberately generates digital glitches and pixel errors, which she then meticulously reconstructs in physical space. By arranging thousands of plastic beads into precise grids, she transforms fleeting distortions of the screen into sculptural surfaces, shifting immaterial errors into objects of permanence.
