Techno-Animism In the crucible of Japan's cultural imagination, where every object is believed to house a spirit, and technology is embraced not as a foe but as a companion, the series "Techno-Animism" manifests as a profound exploration of this symbiosis
The digital art platform NEORT is proud to announce the official inauguration of the exhibition "AI Yokai Summoning Ritual" at NEORT++ and now distributes certificates of participation to commemorate the event. The exhibition will offer "POAP" to viewers visiting the gallery. This exhibition is a ritual for summoning new yōkai through haiku poetry, in which the author, the viewer, and AI collaborate. 108 linked verses (5-7-5 syllable structure) were created through an automatic writing process facilitated by Takakura Kazuki and Takeda Shun. These verses are then broken down into individual words, creating a pool of 108 x 108 x 108 words. Viewers are invited to create their own haiku (5-7-5) by selecting words from this pool. The haiku selected by the viewers are then transformed into 50-word English poems by ChatGPT. The resulting poems are read by an image-generating AI, developed by Kandagawa Sōyō and Takakura, which mimics Takakura's artistic style. This process summons a new yōkai, which is immediately turned into an NFT bearing the name of the haiku and released online.

The digital art platform NEORT is proud to announce the official inauguration of the exhibition "Gal Pals!" at NEORT++ and now distributes certificates of participation to commemorate the event. The exhibition will offer "POAP" to viewers visiting the gallery. Gal Pals! unfurls the signature universe and aesthetics that define the Shinsei Galverse community. For this exhibition, the walls of NEORT++’s gallery are enlivened and filled with a constellation of Gals. Networking, exchange activities, and Gals from local and international holders merge before being transcribed in a unique, immersive visual experience, along with a VTuber booth and more. Triggered by PM invitations in the style of those 90s internet phenomenon copypastas and chain emails, the main part of the exhibition has built itself via a community-fueled method. This modus operandi encouraged a few invited Gal NFT holders to submit one of their badass Gals and send an invitation to one or two Galverse pals, who in turn could submit and invite, keeping the (anti)curation-chain going. In that way, Gal Pals! emphasizes and focuses on URL social activities, net-generated friendships, and the open-source, exponential nature of the internet and, more recently, the Web3 space. The resulting physical space takeover is just one more of the Galverse community efforts.
The digital art platform NEORT is proud to announce the official inauguration of the exhibition "A heaven in a wild flower by Reva" at NEORT++ and now distributes certificates of participation to commemorate the event. The exhibition will offer "POAP" to viewers visiting the gallery. "一花一世界" means you can understand the world through a flower, or a flower is a world. The phrase comes from the Flower Adornment Sutra. English poet William Blake also wrote a poem with a similar meaning. "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. " In my understanding, it is a state of mind that is peaceful and open. Even though this world has flaws, it is full of vitality. A flower may be small, but it is a paradise for bees and butterflies. Everyone is also a flower. We just ignore or forget to observe it sometimes. The artwork is inspired by Chinese porcelain, drawing on the colors of celadon, cloisonné, and Chinese painting. Porcelain, also called china, is a representative of Chinese culture. These vessels are often decorated with flowers and intertwined branches. I hope to use the traditional Chinese aesthetic impression as the keynote to generate all kinds of unique flower worlds with algorithms.
