Born in Kagoshima in 1968, currently lives in Shiga. Having graduated from the Kyoto City University of Arts in 1991, Tadasu Takamine soon won the honorable mention award at the 2nd Sony Music Art Artist Audition in 1993, and from 1993 to 1997 he was one of the members of Dumb Type. Thereafter, he studied Media Art at the International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS).

An internationally renowned artist, he is continuously invited to hold exhibitions abroad, and in 2002, he was invited to the 50th Venice Biennale to show his work "God Bless America", an ironic video installation depicting two tons of oil clay. Takamine employs a diverse range of media, including installation, video, performance, and others. In recent years he has been working on composing and choreographing his own theater pieces, further expanding the breadth of his practice.

His works are publicly collected by National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art, Kumamoto City modern art pavilion, Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, and Yokohama Museum of Art. Represented by ARATANIURANO.
