ماريكو موري واحدة من أشهر الفنانين الأكثر تأثيراً في اليابان خلال فترة الخمسينيات من القرن الماضي وهي من مواليد طوكيو عام 1967 وتقيم بين طوكيو ونيويورك. ومن منطلق اعتقادها الراسخ بأن جميع الأشياء مترابطة مع بعضها، تستكشف ممارستها الإبداعية تساؤلات كونية تتداخل فيها الحياة والموت والواقع والتكنولوجيا.
لمع نجم موري لأول مرة في الساحة الفنية العالمية في منتصف تسعينيات القرن الماضي عن أولى أعمالها الفنية المستلهمة من الأسلوب الفني الياباني “مانكا” والثقافة السيبرانية، حيث قدمت نفسها على أنها شخصية “سايبورغ” وفي خلفية العمل مدينة طوكيو. بهذا الفكر الإبداعي، استطاعت موري أن تحظى باهتمام عالمي عن عملها الفني التفاعلي “موجة جسم غامض” والذي عُرض في متحف كونست هاوس بريجينز في النمسا عام 2003. وتنّقل هذا العمل بين 11 مدينة حول العالم، واستضافته معارض عالمية مرموقة منها معرض بينالي البندقية عام 2005.
متأثرة بثقافتها وتكريماً لها، تستخدم موري أساليب وتقنيات فنية متنوعة تتلاءم مع مفهوم كل عمل فني تبتكره. وفي بعض الحالات، تُطوّر موري تقنيات جديدة وهي تعيش أجواء الإبداع لتصبح مفردات جديدة من لغة أعمالها الفنية.
