About the Artist: ZAIYEN A creative production based in Tokyo. They work across a wide range of media, including snapshots, video, and AICG. Their breakthrough came in 2023 with a photo exhibition. Their work, born from the idea that "how can creativity be more interesting? Wouldn't it be interesting to mix AI and fashion?", has garnered attention, and they have released a series of artworks that express the gap between reality and AI. Their "works that are more conscious of the combination of reality, virtuality, and AI" are becoming increasingly popular, and they have received many inquiries from brands.
Designer Kubo and I met through a mutual acquaintance because we were both interested in each other. We hit it off and decided to create something together, which is how this piece was born.
