Daito Manabe's official personal site, with Selected Works as the main portfolio surface and supporting links to profile, CV, press references, AI-readable information, Projects, and Archive.
The main portfolio entry point for long-form case studies across exhibitions, research, performance, music videos, sports visualization, generative AI, education, financial systems, and systems work.
A portfolio-style selected works hub featuring curated case studies across exhibition, research, performance, music video, sports visualization, generative AI, education, financial systems, and systems work.
Selected Works is the primary route, with PROJECTS and ARCHIVE kept as supporting references.
PROJECTS remains as a project.json-based index for current, experimental, and restricted entries. It is kept as a supporting route beneath Selected Works.
A live visual system where 64 AI agents perceive music and autonomously generate dance, reactions, and conversations. Reconstructs club spaces as virtual dance floors.
A thought experiment in new architectural design for public facilities using AI Agents. Unrelated to MoN's actual plans. A System Design independently conceived and simulated by Manabe.
An educational simulator that visualizes child development from 0 to 4 years on a monthly timeline. Experience how infants acquire the world through senses, motor skills, language, and concepts.
A 45-minute live performance and installation integrating natural language 'conducting' with body and physiological sensors (respiration, heart rate, brainwaves, IMU, etc.). Language provides intent while sensors deliver continuous nuance, with sound, spatial audio, video, and lighting generated and controlled in real-time.
A digital twin agent of Daito Manabe. Autonomously handles recruitment interviews, task distribution, company management, scheduling, and external communications. Reflects real-time biometric data, sleep, and activity levels.
A realtime system that turns a DJ set into a live cocktail menu by generating names, recipes, graphics, and pricing from music analysis. Guests order from the screen, and bartenders craft the drink from the displayed recipe.
ARCHIVE is a backward-reference layer that preserves legacy URLs and external citations. It stays connected without competing with the main portfolio path.
The legacy public archive paths under `/archive/*` stay available, alongside `/ja/archive/*` and `/en/archive/*`.

Daito Manabe | Artist, Programmer, Composer
Daito Manabe is an artist, programmer, and composer whose work explores how life, intelligence, and society emerge through music, computation, and audiovisual media.
After founding Rhizomatiks in 2006, he developed works combining programming, music, visual art, and performance. His early research investigated feedback between the human body and machines by transforming motion, muscle activity, and physiological signals into sound and images. His practice later expanded to cultured neural networks, brain organoids, and spiking neural networks, treating biological activity itself as a generative medium.
His current research focuses on societies composed of humans, artificial life, and AI agents, exploring how interaction, adaptation, and emergence can become new methods for generating music and moving images.
Alongside his research, he develops large scale performances, museum installations, and public artworks. He contributed technology development, visual systems, and lighting systems for the Tokyo Handover Ceremony at the Closing Ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and has collaborated with artists including Perfume, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Björk, Nosaj Thing, and Squarepusher.
