Seiko Mikami (Kanji:三上 晴子; 1961 – January 2, 2015) was a Japanese artist known for her large-scale interactive art installations. Mikami was born in Shizuoka, Japan, in 1961, and she stepped into the art scene in the mid-1980s with large-scale art that studied information society and the human body.[1] After moving to the United States in 1991, she studied computer science at the New York Institute of Technology, which lead her art to focus on the interaction between electronics and the human perception.[2] She became a professor in the Department of Information Design at Tama University in 2000.[3] Mikami died from cancer on January 2, 2015.[4]
