Description: The world is you.
松田はこれまでにメタバース空間、アートフェア、街頭自販機、会員限定の非公開個展、芸術祭、商業施設でのコンセプト・ストア、美術館など、様々な形式で「笑い泣き」を発表してきました。またNFT¹やAR²、MR³といった最新技術を積極的に取り入れながらも、そのアプローチは多くの人々に向けて常に開かれています。
In the project titled "The Laughing Man (Club)" by Shōei Matsuda, individuals are invited to an anonymous community through a common symbol, bringing to light the collective consciousness of people since the advent of social media. This project revolves around one of the most widely used emojis in the world, "laughing with tears of joy," and is deployed across various social media and media platforms. This strange expression, which appears flat but contains mixed emotions, is open to diverse interpretations
Shōei has presented "laughing with tears of joy" in various forms, including MetaVerse spaces, art fairs, vending machine sales on the street, private exhibitions for members only, art festivals, and concept stores in commercial facilities. While actively incorporating the latest technologies such as NFT¹, AR², and MR³, his approach remains open to a wide range of people.
