"Iimura deconstructs our coherence as he shifts between the English Roman alphabet and Japanese characters, injects spoken Japanese and manipulates the computer images of his features. The images often take on geometical shapes, others recall the classical images from Japanese woodcuts of Samurai warrior grimace." Robert West, Curator, Mint Museum o f Art

"A very simple but also striking statement about the arbitrariness of semiotic relations." Fred Andersson, Leonardo Digital Review, MIT Press

“The 'differance' is for him an example of multiculturalism, a connection of unity in diversity, in which Iimura plays with the expressive and indicative function of a sign, in sound and in image."
-World Wide Video Festival, Amsterdam, 1998
