HIPANDA
With the opening of its largest flagship store on April 14th, 2019 (Sun), this Chinese apparel brand is earnestly embarking in Japan. After the HIPANDA artwork was exhibited at the “V&A Museum” in London, England, the lovable and artistic character became a trendy subject among celebrities and quickly gained recognition throughout Europe. As a brand that started from art, there were many celebrities attending the exhibition party. Through character collaborations with the world's leading art museums and brands, and opening new shops in department stores and along the roads in Paris, they shifted to the apparel business.

RENDER was awarded the title of Honoree in the Webby Award
The experimental image installation piece made with 20 clear organic EL displays, “RENDER,” was awarded the title of Honoree in the Art & Experimental division of Webby Award. Following 360° motion graphic work “Tokyo Light Odyssey,” it has received awards for two years in a row.
RENDER
RENDER is an experimental installation created using 20 sheets of organic display electroluminescence. Its focus’s on the perception of “being able to see things that cannot actually be seen” using footage from the the natural world such as rain, wind and lightning, as well as a three-dimensional audio reconstruction using natural sound fragments.
The artwork aims to trigger a new sense of depth allowing viewers to reimagine what is depicted between each display using their minds to fill in the blanks. By displaying fragmented three-dimensional visuals on multiple displays, a new perspective can be explored not only from the front but all angles in 3D space. This experience will intensely stimulate the viewer’s imagination, leaving a deeper impression on one’s mind.
