Business Overview
In a small theater, 11 oral presentations and 14 exhibits including materials, models, and works were presented by pairs/individuals of researchers and artists. A handout introducing all 36 researchers and artists was prepared and distributed. This event was opened to the public onsite for a limited time, and then the entire contents were reconstructed on the metaverse and opened to the public for a limited time. During the metaverse launch period, the company distributed 12 episodes of its talk series “For Beginners: These 3 Times ” and held 16 dialogue events with exhibitors in the metaverse. In addition, we designed two types of proof using NFTs, and issued (1) a proof of support for this program and (2) a proof of exchange of interlocutors. Major participating scientists include Toshiaki Ichinose, Shuichiro Tomita, Kei Nakajima, Mayumi Fukunaga and Taketoshi Minato. Artists include Kiko Iijima, Ushio, Ken Kitano, Yuki Yamamoto and Yu Yoshida. It is managed by Kanako IRIKU, Maki UTSUNOMIYA, Aisa SAKAGUCHI, Aya TSUBOI, Asako HASEGAWA, Toshihisa FUJIWARA and Takako YAMAGUCHI.
