He is considered to be one of the pioneers of Japanese new media art. He began his career working with video and digital imagery in the early 80's. He was one of the first artists to use stereolithography, a technique in which a laser polymerizes a liquid resin as it sweeps its surface. He is mostly known for creating sophisticated interactive networks so he could look at the possibilities for communication within virtual spaces. One of his first major works was when he created Impressing Velocity in which he used a laptop that had gps to map out mount Fuji which allowed others to view it interactively. Later in 1995 Fujihata would create Beyond Pages which was basically an interactive enviroment.

Later in 2003 Fujihata created Morel's Panorama
He believes that "reality does not conflict with virtuality: it is the complementary aspect of a similar space of life."
