Hayashi holds a BA in International \u0026 Cultural Studies with an award winning undergraduate thesis from Tsuda College, Tokyo, a MA with Merit in Digital Media from Coventry School of Art \u0026 Design, Coventry University, UK, and completed additional postgraduate studies in Computer Arts at the Royal Univeristy College of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Hayashi\u0027s works exhibit an unique blend of aesthetic and conceptual foundation with the use of technology, as she consistently explores co-relation between image, sound, conceptualisation in art, and discourses in philosophy and other social disciplines. She is best known for her net art that involves examination of human nature with high use of interactivity, in which not only the retrieved intricate picture of its subject becomes its focus but also our own reaction toward what is being revealed through interactivity. These works together with her CD-ROM work (\u0022The Norns\u0022) have been recognised by the general visual art communities in addition to new media circles. Their exhibition venues include Janco Dada Museum, Israel, Nordic Contemporary Art Biennial, Gothenburg, Norrk\u00F6pings Konstmuseum, as well as many international new media art festivals such as Viper, Basel, ciber@rt, Bilbao, FILE, Sao Paulo, Thailand New Media Art Festival, Bangkok, etc. One of her net art work \u0022Last Meal Requested\u0022 has been published by Rhizome, NY, as part of GROK, 2007, their first educational CD-ROM for the youth. Her video works, an investigation of temporal composition in subjective imagery, often in combination with audio-visual experimentation, have won a wide recognition internationally over the years. In 1991 she founded MASH, an art duo, with EAM composer Magnus Alexanderson, to investigate various audio-moving image combinations. MASH\u0027s video works have been shown at such prestigious festivals as Transmediale, Berlin, Not Still Art, New York, and European Media Art Festival, Osnabr\u00B8ck. MASH has received a commission from the Swedish National Institute for Concerts in 2000 and their video trilogy was chosen for a national tour by the same institution in 2001. Her latest video \u0022Boop-oop-a-doop\u0022 displays another approach from MASH, revolving more closely to conceptual discourses which she has taken on in her other works previously. Since its completion in December 2004, this work has been shown at 20 different venues over the world, including Bangkok, Manilla, Istanbul, Prague, Wroclaw, in addition to major cities in USA and West Europe. \u0022Boop-oop-a-doop\u0022 is published on DVD compilation by Aspect Magazine, vol. 07. She worked in residence at the Experimental Television Center on this work. \u0022Personas and Personalities\u0022 2006, Boston, Mass., with the commentary by the artist/educator Nicholas Economos.
