Less Than Human

Less Than Human is an enigmatic multimedia art collective formed in Tokyo in 2002, fusing graphic design, experimental music, and conceptual installations. Known for their incisive exploration of technology’s impact on identity and perception, the group’s work often blurs the boundary between the organic and the artificial. Drawing inspiration from cyberpunk aesthetics, philosophical discourse, and Japanese pop culture, Less Than Human’s visuals and soundscapes provoke reflection on the increasingly digital nature of humanity.

Their groundbreaking exhibitions at international venues such as the Mori Art Museum and Art Basel have garnered critical acclaim, while collaborations with avant-garde musicians and fashion labels have further cemented their reputation for boundary-pushing creativity. Refusing easy categorization, Less Than Human continues to challenge audiences with immersive experiences that interrogate what it means to be human in an age of rapid technological transformation.
