Two On Kawaras: Yuki Okumura on the Artist and his Twitterbot
There are two On Kawaras: one is the late conceptual artist, the other a Twitterbot that has been tweeting “I AM STILL ALIVE” every day since January 2009. Here Yuki Okumura, possibly the only person to have directly interacted with both, shares his experiences meeting Kawara (whose real name is likely Atsushi Kawahara) as well as his recent video interview with Pall Thayer, the artist behind @On_Kawara.
