"artless" は1999 年に川上俊によって設立されたデザインエージェンシーである。クリエイティブ／アートディレクター、グラフィックデザイナー、インタラクティブデザイナー、プログラマー、フォトグラファー、イラストレーター、インテリアデザイナー、建築家、音楽家らによるチームを各プロジェクトに応じて編成し、前衛的な作品を世界に発信している。東京を拠点とし、ニューヨークや、パリ、フィレンツェ、ヘルシンキ、ベルリン、シンガポール、上海など国内外で広く活動しており、その活動もアート、デザイン、ブランディング、ウェブ、ビデオ、プロダクト、インスタレーション、空間演出など多岐に渡る。また、エキシビションの主催や参加及びキュレーション、各メディアへのアートワークの出品といったアーティスト活動も精力的に行っている。"artless" は多様化するデザイン界において、アートとデザイン、産業とデザインの在り方を追求し続け、具体的な作品の有形化のみならず、思考や観念など意識の集合体、更には無意識の領域の具現化としてのデザインを心掛けている。視覚的な認識の共有を目的とするに留まらず、観念的な認識の共有を目指し、頭へ、そして心へ、直接語りかけてくるデザインを生み出す。デザインをビジュアルランゲージと考え、デザインを通じて思想や理念といった目に見えないものを魅せようとする姿勢を大切にしている。
