AKIRA in Neo-Tokyo 2020: Online Art Exhibition by The Unusual Network


An interactive online exhibition that transports the visitor to an industrial complex set in 2020 NEO-Tokyo (Suitably barren of people, social distancing POV your browser-clicks) has since been launched online via theunusualnetwork.com/akira. The virtual gallery setting enables the user to browse a 3D art exhibition dedicated to the iconic 1988 Japanese animated post-apocalyptic cyberpunk film "Akira".


The 13 participating artists are: @arcadiainmayhem / @ashrafomar__ / @yanandjun / @clogtwo / @efoe / @humanoise / @acidosivan / @didierjabamathieu / @utfiaufar / @mojokoworld / @supercybertown / @shiaaaan / @siddwills.

Artwork on show are available to purchase, via clicking at red dots seen in the online gallery exhibition, which will open up a purchasing window (Credit or Debit payment only, no Paypal, it seems), which I would have loved to take a closer look at the artwork ... or maybe I am not clicking the right buttons :p

Nevertheless, an awesome way to enjoy a art exhibition, in these trying COVID-times!

Curated by The Unusual Network and produced by METAMO Industries.

Last January, I was invited by @theunusualnetwork & @brilliantprints for an art exhibit based on the classic cyberpunk anime AKIRA. It was supposed to launch last March in Singapore, but then Covid-19 happened. Not one to back down, Steve Lawler/ @mojokoworld & Race/ @supercybertown pushed forward and created a 3D virtual gallery. And here we are. There's a lot of love that went into this VR gallery that's why it looks so amazing. It's finally available for viewing today, check out http://www.theunusualnetwork.com/akira Contributing Artists: JabaOne, Singapore Ivan Despi, Philippines Mojoko, Singapore Arcadia, Singapore Ashraf Omar, Singapore Clog Two, Singapore Eric Foenander, Singapore Humanoise, Japan Lutfi Aufar, Indonesia Shiaaan, Singapore Buro UFHO, Singapore Sidd Wills, Singapore Supercybertown, Singapore Sound Design by Intriguant - My piece 'Tetsuo Shima Bloom' poses the question 'is Tetsuo really becoming an agent of mass destruction, or is he simply blossoming into the next level of our species?' Enjoy! #akira
