And now, here’s the first version of our pictorial roadmap.
We completed it a few days ago and are still updating it little by little, but this is basically how it looks.
I have also been posting the first version of the 16-item text roadmap on the M.F Instagram page.👉
👉I hope to create opportunities for people to encounter in person through salons and club events on that occasion. I so wish I could go into more details now…!🌸
16. Events
In early summer of 2022, I will have an exhibition at Gagosian Madison Avenuee @gagosian . It involves a surprise collaboration, as well as presentations of physical paintings and sculptures of M.F.👉
👉As it is already trading NFT art and is operating with the DAO-like worldview, I believe it is M.F’s mission to connect it with those who inhabit the worlds of NFT and DAO. 🌸
14. A bridge between
In December, 2022, I am planning to release a portable game with an LCD monitor. In addition, I plan to start developing and producing online and physical games.
I am also planning to activate events in the real-world art community as mentioned earlier.👉
I intend to create my NFT art based on the method that I believe, in the long run, will let my work survive through in the future art world 100 or 200 years from now,👉
11. Vision and values
https://t.co/cfb6yRZ4lo is being activated upon the system of Superflat, a theory that artist Takashi Murakami put forth in 2000. Superflat refers to the cultural concept generated in Japan in the 77 years since its overwhelming defeat in the Pacific War. 👉
9. As such, the roadmap I am making may be hard to comprehend, and you may end up with question marks floating above your heads, or worse, some of you may erupt in irritation. You may ask: “Who do you think you are?”
8. We contemporary artists stand far apart in the society from such real-world values and meanings, and I believe our job is to transmit messages from that singular position.
7. And so I am constructing this roadmap not as a product description but with a hope that it will serve as a pictorial puzzle for breaking down Murakami’s artistic concept.
6. In the first place, art is a thought process to discern what is meaningful and to makes sense of what seems meaningless—not a concept that refers to the flow of residue that results after the thought, such as the product itself, or the awarding or trading of things.
5. By the way, this series of texts here are numbered, but basically it’s just my essay. So perhaps its content may not be the kind of thing people would want to discuss on Discord, for instance.
👉 The work is being developed with the number 108 as the keyword; a combination of 108 backgrounds and flower colors make up a field, and there are 108 fields.👉
