monos

In October 2025, the digital art exhibition space NEORT++ in Bakurocho, Tokyo, hosted the solo exhibition "monos." This project focused on creating artworks with "uniqueness" despite utilizing digital technology, offering an experience of digital art that can only be obtained at that specific moment.

The title "monos," derived from ancient Greek meaning "one and only" or "unique," reflects the concept of limiting the artwork's generation and output to a single instance. While digital data is typically infinitely reproducible, this exhibition adopted a method that does not save the data after creation but outputs it only once on the spot. This approach translates the concept of monotype printmaking—unique, one-of-a-kind prints—into the digital realm, producing digital images that appear and take form only momentarily. This method combines the ephemeral nature of live performance with the exclusivity of one-of-a-kind ownership, imparting a distinctive aura to the digital artworks.

Artists participating in the project were to be announced sequentially. The exhibition is positioned as an exploration of the possibilities of digital technology and the value of uniqueness. NEORT++, established in 2022, specializes in digital and media art, presenting works that utilize various digital technologies such as 3DCG, VR, blockchain, programming, and AI. It offers experiences that bridge digital and physical spaces, fostering experimental engagement with emerging technologies and media.
