Two monitors, each showing a face with closed eyes, lean into one another, their images overlapping as if the two were sharing a kiss. At their base, a dense skein of cables spreads across the floor. With communication in the digital age as its central theme, the work was first created in 2017 during an open studio in Brooklyn, New York, and has since been exhibited in Japan and beyond. In the 2026 iteration, the monitors that once hovered in mid-air sink into a sea of cables and reappear as an immense LED wall. The piece hints that information, once imagined as something merely “up in the air,” now undergirds the ground we stand on and exerts a very real force in the world. At the Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions version, inviting visitors to participate by contributing their own faces to the work.
On the third floor, another strand of the project unfolds: exonemo’s earlier iPhone app work Joiner—an homage to David Hockney, a major figure in
contemporary art and an adventurous experimenter with photographic collage, especially his Joiners series—is revisited and reimagined for today’s technological landscape.
