Documentary films, gallery talks, and archival footage about Masumi Hayashi's work
Videos marked as "Enhanced 2×" have been upscaled using AI video enhancement technology in 2025 to improve viewing quality on modern displays. Original archival recordings from 1994-2006 were captured at lower resolutions (320×240 to 352×262). The enhancement process doubles the resolution while preserving the historical authenticity of these important documents of Masumi Hayashi's artistic legacy.
