Altering fans, televisions, and other everyday appliances, converting their functions into something utterly diff erent, UMEDA creates objects freed from their original meanings. His works, created to suit the spaces in which they will be installed, use utterly familiar, commonplace phenomena, channeled through his clever handiness and unique spatial sensibility, to create mysterious, seemingly impossible sensations. They thereby free you from rigid perceptions constrained by preconceived ideas.
