Mobilus and the Intersection of Art and Technology

Mobilus Inc., headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced a unique initiative that merges art and technology by showcasing works from emerging artists in their corporate office. This project will start in April 2026 and primarily focuses on the creations of students from art universities, specifically selected young artists who embody innovative thinking and creativity.

This initiative is part of an art program titled "Art-Hack Workplace," organized in collaboration with ArtLeap Inc., led by Masahiko Nishida in Shibuya, Tokyo. The objective is to adorn the office spaces with contemporary art while supporting the artistic endeavors of the selected artists and fostering intuition and creativity among Mobilus employees.

Background of the Initiative

In recent years, Mobilus has utilized generative AI and chat technologies to enhance communication between businesses and their customers, particularly in contact centers. In an era of rapid digital transformation, the value Mobilus aims to deliver transcends mere efficiency; it embodies the need to understand the subtleties of human emotion. To design a richer customer experience (CX), it's vital to integrate not only logical approaches but also an intuitive perspective that art provides.

By incorporating the works of next-generation artists into the everyday office environment, Mobilus hopes to inspire employee creativity and foster natural dialogue across different departments and generations. This aligns with their mission of delivering cutting-edge CX to all businesses.

Exhibition Overview

The selected artworks hail from two talented artists associated with Tokyo University of the Arts: Haruto Mikajiri and Takumi Kokubo. Their pieces will be prominently displayed in common areas such as the entrance and workspace of Mobilus’ office.

Featured Artwork Examples

• - "Lake Mountain Autumn Landscape" by Haruto Mikajiri

Profile of Haruto Mikajiri:
Born in 2000 in Kanagawa, Haruto is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Painting at the Tokyo University of the Arts. His creations draw inspiration from Eastern art, particularly focusing on the collage-like qualities of brushwork and unique spatial forms, reinterpreted using various techniques. Recently, he has expanded his creative practice outdoors, exploring these themes through murals.

Exhibitions

• - 2026: "Provenance→Reflection" at Mitsukoshi Main Store, Tokyo
• - 2024: Duo Exhibition "STRIP" at my hair loom, Tokyo
• - 2024: Graduation Exhibition at the National Art Center, Tokyo

• - "Dichromatic Symbol" by Takumi Kokubo

Profile of Takumi Kokubo:
Born in 1997 in Saitama, Takumi is set to graduate with a focus on oil painting from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2024 and is currently in the Master's program at the same institution. He examines how elements deeply rooted in human life and beliefs, such as religion and the occult, transform over time and context. His work explores the ambiguity surrounding human existence, often using various mediums to highlight the instability of states such as "being here now."

Key Achievements

Takumi received the 2022 Ataka Prize and has participated in several group and solo exhibitions, including one titled "AWAKE Eve.4 - Contemporary Art" in Osaka and multiple exhibitions in Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Mobilus aims to cultivate a creative organizational culture that accelerates business communication and innovation through this art initiative, thereby fostering new ideas and enhancing CX through technology.
