Participated in “The Tokyo Collection” by Bright Moments

“The Tokyo Collection” by Bright Moments. Bright Moments is a DAO that creates physical showcases around the world for digital art and NFT artworks to be minted in real life (IRL Minting), expanding the possibilities of NFTs. The showcase has been hosted in cities such as New York, Berlin, and London, with Tokyo being the seventh location, where qubibi participated in the exhibition named "The Tokyo Collection" (May 05 - 12), including an interview and talk session.

Throughout the period, several events were held to connect collectors and artists, and qubibi also spent time meeting and interacting with people from around the world. Upon request from Zancan, qubibi bestowed the title "Kumono Shingou" on his artwork for this collection.

This occasion also served as a gathering for collectors and artists from around the world, bringing together people who had only known each other through the internet. In Japan, such gatherings are called 'off-kai' 😉
