Power - International digital exhibition catalog

In this exhibition, we seek to explore what Power is. Is it a physical meaning, or is strength something internal? Does being strong mean having an advantage over someone and being the first, or is it about willpower when a person has almighty patience and goes step by step to his goal? Does power have gender, man’s superiority over nature, or do time and age affect power? Everyone has their own truth. Let’s think about the meaning of power and show our own vision in this exhibition!

About artwork<br />

“Subsistence Machines in Meta World” is an artist’s collection of fictitious machines<br />

that explore how people will eat, wear, live, and move in the Metaverse. The artist envisions<br />

meeting physiological needs in this virtual realm and has designed imaginary<br />

machines for the future cyberhuman. Through animations and isometric drawings, the<br />

artist presents these fantasy machines, incorporating media symbols like data, signals,<br />

and social networks. This body of work serves as a prophecy of the meta-world, similar<br />

to how artists in the 19th century imagined and warned about the future based on industrial<br />

revolution and steam technology. The artist aims to offer a possible future through<br />

these visual works, inspiring future generations. The <strong>digital</strong> files have been minted into<br />

NFTs, ensuring their eternal existence in the Web 3.0 metaverse.<br />
