"Metaverse Petshop is an ironic and playable installation inspired by the relationship between information space and real space."

"The Japanese artist unit "exonemo" (by SEMBO Kensuke and AKAIWA Yae) was formed in 1996 on the Internet. Their experimental projects are typically humorous and innovative explorations of the paradoxes of digital and analog computer networked and actual environments in our lives."

Body Paint

Ongoing art series from Exonemo are paintings on Ultra HD LCD display screens playing videos of painted objects:

To we smart phone-affixed contemporaries, to connect to the Internet at all times and in all places is to complete our person. This work uses body painting to examine our physical definitions, our physicality, in a world of networked information devices. Each work in this portrait series features a person, nude, shaved, and painted entirely in a single shade of color, displayed on an LCD which has been entirely painted in the same color except for the human subject on the screen. With these boundaries erased, the background and foreground being a human body and an electronic display body, each covered in the same color of paint, the subject can be said to become the sense of ambiguity and confusion, and a questioning of the definition of whether the individual depicted is human being or representation.
