Ayako Kataoka Blasser is an intermedia artist currently based between Tokyo and Berlin. Her work is a study of form, sound, and movement that explores the realms of acoustic phenomena and spatial perception. With the listening body as a site of agency and through the lens of Japanese aesthetics, she elucidates conceptual and physical states of experiential resonance.

Working across mediums, she has presented installations, performances, and sound sculptures at SF International Arts Festival (San Francisco, USA), Tokyo International Dance Film Festival (Tokyo, Japan), High Zero Festival (Baltimore, USA), Sound Forms Symposium (Copenhagen, Denmark), Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bolzano (Bolzano, Italy), The Stone (New York, USA), KM28 (Berlin, Germany), among many others.

She is a recipient of the Frog Peak Prize and holds an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College, where she was mentored by Pauline Oliveros and Maggi Payne at the Center for Contemporary Music.
