Born 1957, Tokyo, Japan. Miyajima’s founds his works on the following three concepts; continuous transformation, interconnectedness of all entities, and infinite continuation. These concepts are closely linked with the conceptual arts, which are made manifest in his art production and experimentation with these chiefly take shape through the use of LED digital numberings. His first debut to the international art scene was The Sea of Time of the Aprerto section at the Venice Biennale 1988, and brought him much international credit. Since then, his works are frequently displayed in major museum exhibitions including the large scale installation, Mega Death at Japanese Pavilion, The 48th Venice Biennale. Miyajima currently lives and works in Ibaraki.

1957年生于日本东京。宮島達男基于三个概念进行创作：持续转换、所有实体互相连接以及无限拓展。这些概念与明显体现在其作品中的观念艺术和那些主要通过运用LED数字编号进而成形的实验有密切关系。他在国际艺术界的首次亮相是1988年威尼斯双年展Aprerto 部分的《时间的海洋》，并为他赢得众多国际声誉。自那以后，各著名博物馆展览常常展出他的作品，包括大型装置，第48届威尼斯双年展日本馆的《百万死亡》。宮島達男目前在茨城生活和工作。
