	MARIKO MORI/ART NEWS/APRIL 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mariko Mori’s enchanting and colourful images creating a kind of paradise in which she has been showing herself, often in a Plexiglas capsule, are today much in demand on the art market.
		Mariko Mori, who lives in New York, produces high-tech works which are prone to seduce rich dot.com entrepreneurs who make no difference between a drawing by Picasso, a video installation or a photographic work and buy pieces for their own pleasure.
		Mariko Mori said her photographs were costly because she needed to travel and work with as much as eight people notwithstanding the fact that she has to conceive her capsule and ship it to different parts of the planet.

	HeadLight Journal: "Synthetic Dreams: the Art of Moriko Mori" by Rumi Jade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mori’s anime figure taunts as she reveals herself as a commodity, a cute and seductive soapland prostitute recontextualized into a sci-fi sex fantasy.
		Mori recently stated that she is a child of Andy Warhol and a grandchild of Duchamp.
		Mori is interested in light's physical, spiritual, and metaphysical properties, and here she achieves a combination of the spiritual and scientific, uniting both visible and invisible forces.

	MCA Chicago: Mariko Mori (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mariko Mori's large photographs and video installations present futuristic scenes that meditate on the profusion of artifice in contemporary culture and extract elements of Eastern spiritual thought and art to express optimism for life in the next millennium.
		Mori was born in Tokyo in 1967, studied fashion design in Japan, and worked as a fashion model during the late 1980s.
		Mori's work thus draws together new technologies and futuristic icons from the mediascape of the present and the spirituality and tradition of the past.

	DJ SPOOKY that subliminal kid
		Mori's art takes on the futuristic landscapes of contemporary urban Japan, and in the end, like the Kami, she becomes a syncretic archetypal figure able to engage the mythologies of her environment and flow with the currents of culture.
		Mori draws analogies between what is articulated in fiction, language, and visuality, and points to a tug of war between her identity as a Japanese woman and her entrance into a milieu of global culture and electronic, urban multiplicity.
		Mori as virtual subject or a narrative that never was, a phenomenological locale that situates the human and the technological as codependent and mutually defining.

	Mori/Sugiura
		Mori: Some of them were published in a magazine there.
		Mori: When I went back to Japan after a long stay here, I thought that the youth culture was most energetic.
		Mori: That originates from when I was a fashion model, at around age sixteen.

	Mariko Mori and Salvador Dali
		Mariko Mori is a 31-year-old artist, a former fashion model and student of fashion design, who was born in Japan and lives in Tokyo and New York.
		Wilson: Mariko Mori once told an interviewer that she was a child of Andy Warhol and a grandchild of Duchamp.
		Mariko Mori is not actually making kitsch, she is playing with the idea of kitsch as you see it in popular culture.

	Mariko Mori
		Before she turned artist, Mariko Mori was a fashion model; and in all of her work she puts herself on show.
		Mori’s imaginative costumes (all of which she designs herself) convey a constantly shifting image of her personality.
		Mori’s most recent work thus creates mystical, cosmic places that seem to be not of this world.

	artnet.com Magazine Reviews - Tea with Mariko (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mariko Mori, arguably the most visible Japanese artist in the West today, entered the all-white, glass and plastic tea room she had specially designed for the posh apartment that serves as her Tokyo studio.
		Dressed in a white, simple two-piece cotton dress and socks, Mori bowed to her guest (me), seated us both on the tatami mats and slowly proceeded to perform a tea ceremony.
		Mori, who was born in 1967 and has worked in New York City for 10 years, turned her smiling face to me. To me the tea room felt uncomfortably small, though obviously the artist was at home.

		Mariko Mori is a young Japanese artist who, after studying in London, has taken up residence in NYC.
		Mariko Mori: The women are cyborgs--there is the "School Girl," the "Office Lady" and the "Prostitute." I call them cyborgs to speak metaphorically of the woman's role in Japan--it's a kind of social comment.
		Mariko Mori: I thought of using NYC as my location, but I thought that in addressing the topic of technology I need to use a place where people create a culture of technology--I then thought that's where I come from.

		As Mori sings a tuneless pop song in a chanting falsetto voice, a platoon of animated cartoon characters orbit the gallery in little bubbles, accompanying her on drums, flutes, bells and guitars.
		For although Mori's use of technology belongs to the 21st century, what we have been watching is as old as time: the Buddhist cycle of becoming, desire, enlightenment, and nothingness.
		Mori's art is about the way technologies already available in the late 20th century have become substitutes for the inner life of prayer and meditation which in Buddhist doctrine leads to the transcendence of the self.

	Hz #4 - Japan in Scandinavia
		The contemporary Japanese artist Mori Mariko is well known in Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia, especially after her exhibition Dream Temple at Rooseum in Malmö in 2000, which received a tremedious amount of reviews and critical acclaim.
		This essay will focus on Mori Mariko and her art works in order to investigate how specific art objects are incorporated into a broader ideologically constructed frame work concerning cultural identity on a national or regional level.
		Mori Mariko herself is often seen as representing Buddhism in this respect, and several critics note the way in which Mori refers to aspects of popular science-fiction imagery, or include references to futuristic utopian architecture from the 1920s.

	Urszula Usakowska-Wolff: Mariko Mori, artystka z Japonii
		W 1995 roku Mariko Mori ostatecznie zrezygnowała z publiczności - tej realnej i tej elektronicznie symulowanej i raz pierwszy zaprezentowała się jako całkowite, samowystarczalne i samo napędzające się dzieło sztuki, otoczone błyszczącymi kolorowymi piłkami, jakby sznurem prawdziwych gwiazd.
		W nim Mariko Mori nie przegląda się, bo objawia się jako zwielokrotniony duch głębin, efemeryczna powłoka pod powłoką ziemi, designerka z odzmysłowionego świata.
		Mori występuje tu wśród górskich japońskich lasów, otoczona mistycznymi promieniami.

	BTA - Telematic Bulletin of Art / Texts / bta00194.html
		Mariko Mori (Tokyo, 1967) is one of the more innovative artist in the contemporary art world, thanks to her imagery, so rich and surrealistic, and to her use of new sophisticated technologies.
		Her works are strong icons that often have as a subject the artist herself, for example portraited as an alien geisha or a priestess of a futuristic rite, in a strange encounter between kitsch and fetish.

		Mariko Mori is in white, wearing a skirt and jacket that’s just shy of a straight jacket.
		The outfit has been designed by a friend of hers and is a perfect counterpoint for Mori’s dark hair as it slopes and loops upwards at the side of her face.
		But when all settles down, Mori is the knowing guide, ever secure at the helm of an incredible array of collaborators, including computer specialists she has worked with to create a 3-D video system for her work Nirvana.

	KUNSTHAUS BREGENZ
		Mariko Mori (born in Tokyo in 1967, lives in New York) is considered one of the major young representatives in the contemporary art scene.
		More recently, Mariko Mori has attracted attention with her architectural installations that visitors can enter, such as "Dream Temple," which was shown in 1999 at the Fondazione Prada.
		Mori's construction, which is a homage to Japan's oldest Buddhist temple (Yumedono), is a place for meditation, one that should allow the visitor to look deep into his/her soul.

		Miniskirted media darling Mariko Mori beams a wild child’s smile from the cover of the March issue of "ARTnews," the New York-published "Newsweek" of the art world.
		Pressing the 29-year-old artist [based on published reports, Mori will not disclose her age] to serve up something not on the standard new-age menu is fruitless.
		Again, the high-tech works are striking; Mori staring through reflecting contact lenses, eyes framed by a mauve racoon-mask made-up on her serine visage - "Mirage" seduces the viewer into Mori’s spiritual oasis.

		The glass atrium of 590 Madison Avenue took on an otherworldly atmosphere with the installation of Mariko Mori's Wave UFO, a stunning sculptural object and viewer participatory installation that epitomizes Mariko Mori's ongoing exploration of the relationship between the individual and an interconnected cosmos.
		Within the tranquil interior of the work, Mori sent participants, three at a time, on an aesthetic voyage that sought to connect three individuals to each other and to the world at large.
		Mariko Mori, born in Tokyo, was educated at the Chelsea College of Art, London (1989-92) and participated in the Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program.

		The Japanese artist Mariko Mori (* 1967 in Tokyo, lives and works in Tokyo and New York) has for several years already been considered one of the major young representatives in the contemporary Japanese art scene.
		Mariko Mori's more recent works take on more complexity: the photos have given way to multi-layered images that produce the illusion of motion.
		Mariko Mori became known for her architectural installations that visitors can enter, complex aesthetic creations that evoke the vanishing of spirituality in the face of the ever increasing influence of the mass media.

	eyestorm - article - Mariko Mori
		Mori's fascination with the construction of artifice, and her rigorous attention to detail, may be traced to her early training at the Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo.
		Whilst Mori responds to her environment, pressing a button on her wrist armature, her fellow subway riders are oblivious to her presence, studiously daydreaming or enthralled by minute TV screens.
		Mori's wordless images remind me of cartoons where the dialogue, like a thought balloon in one of those narratives that used to be two dimensional glyphs on paper until they took over and became reality, just isn't necessary.

		Pure Land, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, (January–March 2002), is Mariko Mori’s first large scale solo exhibit in Japan, although she has held numerous solo exhibitions in both private and public galleries in the United States and Europe.
		Visitors initially encounter large format colour photographs of Mori in various costumes; for example, she is an office worker serving tea, a business mascot greeting customers or a mermaid at an indoor beach.
		Her choice of digital imagery, 3D effects, and brilliant colours to project venerated religious imagery allures rather than jars, synchronizing one’s desires into visual pleasure, conveying the underlying similarities of the genres of animé and ritual, porno and religion, all of which tactically operate in and through the realm of fantasy.

		The connection between technology and spirituality, increasingly important in Mori's work, is effected here through the use of specially designed computer programs and scientific equipment that monitor and visually interpret the participants' brainwaves.
		Mori first became known in the 1990s for her engaging, highly stylized photographic and multimedia works that blended animation and pop culture with Japanese ritual and cultural tradition.
		Mariko Mori's Wave UFO in the atrium of 590 Madison Avenue (at 56th Street) will be on view May 10 - July 31, 2003.

		Her Uncle's company is responsible for the creation of Tokyo's new art gallery, The Mori Art Museum, due to open in the summer of 2003.
		Mariko and her work have also benefited from being sponsored by leading Japanese businesses such as Sony and Shiseido.

		Inspired by the Buddhist concept that all things in the universe are interconnected, Mariko Mori believes that art shares with electronic technology, religion and even fashion photography the ability to give form to our dreams, fantasies and desires.
		Mori's art removes legendary figures from the historical past and recontextualizes them outside of time.
		Mori studied fashion design in Tokyo, worked briefly as a model and later studied fine art in England.

		But that was all the time it took for young Mori (her actual age has become a closely-guarded family secret, but published reports peg her at 34) to get where she is today.
		The spiritual affectation evolved in ambitious three-dimensional videos such as 1997's "Nirvana," in which viewers don special glasses to watch as Mori is born of one of seven floating balls of light, and flutters feathers outward from her fingertips.
		Notes: Mariko Mori's "Pure Land" is at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (4-1-1 Miyoshi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, 03-5245-4111), until March 24 2002.
