The Extended Reality ("XR") NFT Art Exhibition will leverage the "STYLY" platform, which makes it possible to superimpose and distribute XR content in a life like, urban Metaverse environment using only a smartphone or Augmented Reality ("AR") glasses.

The collaboration with MADworld seeks to bring together NFT technology with Japanese art and culture by overlaying their artwork over a virtual New York City cityscape. Furthermore, the exhibition features an amazing roster of artists such as Hiroshi Mori, Masayuki Kojo, Kenichi Asano, Crazy Chocolate, Minori Murata, Ryo Takegawa and Kenta Nakano. A quick backgrounder on some of the participating artists:

Masayuki Kojo

Based in Uji, Kyoto, Masayuki Kojo's motto is "A warrior is not a fighter, but a warrior is one who has determination". Kojo is active as a "painter specializing in warrior paintings", using sumi ink to depict the "preparedness" of the warriors of the Warring States period.

Kojo has been performing live art himself, aiming to expand the recognition of "live art" and to realize "Live Art Koshien", a festival for high school artists with the goal of "changing the future of painters".

In recent years, Kojo has collaborated with "Star Wars" and "The Avengers" movies, manga, anime, and video games. The collaborative warrior painting was made possible through a conversation with singer Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi. The 3 way crossover between Yomiuri Giants x Under Armour x Masayuki Kojo has attracted a lot of attention, and his collaborative warrior paintings with various genres such as sports, artists, and sports brands have become a hot topic.

Kenichi Asano

Kenichi Asano uses a hybrid of classic and digital sculpting techniques. Previously, Asano used   "possession" as a theme, where he fuses pop culture elements and sublimates them into contemporary art.

In recent years, while working on shrine statues, Asano has also released a real-world avatar robot called "Possessed". In 2021, Asano collaborated with Naohito Funabashi on the virtual space "phantom". It represents the next evolution of sculpture.

Crazy Chocolate

She started creating illustrations in 2018 with a desire to pass on traditional Japanese culture to the younger generation. Her unique style is characterized by incorporating Japanese tradition and street art. In 2019, she launched ^on_ENCOUNT  a street-style haori brand which weaves traditional craftsmanship with modern, easy to wear aesthetics.
