#初音ミク# #ARTOFMIKU# 【ART OF MIKU｜Art Gallery】 Artist: feebee Title: ”Digital Flowers Produce No Seeds?” Size: H91 × W91 cm 「Digital Flowers Produce No Seeds」は、デジタル空間における承認欲求をテーマにしたシリーズ作品です。たとえば、「いいね」や「フォロワー数」といったデジタル上の 評価が、一見華やかで一時的な満足感をもたらすものの、実際には何も生み出さず、空虚な報酬に依存してしまうことや、他者からのコメントやシェアを求め続けることで、自己確認への執着が強まることに対する警鐘を鳴らしています。 今回は、初音ミクというキャラクターを通じて、デジタルと現実の境界を再考します。彼女は単なる仮想キャラクターではなく、その存在が評価基準や承認欲求の枠を超え、仮想と現実の境界を曖昧にする象徴です。本作で初音ミクが示すのは、デジタル空間で種を持たない「花」がどのようにして実を結ぶ可能性を秘めているのかという問いです。 "Digital Flowers Produce No Seeds" is a series of works themed around the desire for recognition in the digital space. For example, it warns against the fact that digital evaluations such as "likes" and "follower counts," while seemingly glamorous and providing temporary satisfaction, actually produce nothing and lead to dependence on empty rewards, and that constantly seeking comments and shares from others strengthens the obsession with self-affirmation. This time, we reconsider the boundary between digital and reality through the character of Hatsune Miku. She is not merely a virtual character, but a symbol whose existence transcends evaluation criteria and the desire for recognition, blurring the boundaries between virtual and reality. In this work, Hatsune Miku poses the question of how a "flower" without seeds in the digital space has the potential to bear fruit. 【Other works】 他作品はオフィシャルサイトよりご覧いただけます。 Please visit the official website to see the other works.

The Man City project is hardly a washout. But if Abu Dhabi really wants to project an image of being modern and technocratic, it would be advised to play by the rules, writes Matthew Brooker (via @opinion)
