“Cats at the Public Swimming Pool” (9 seconds) – Funky Bells track by @boris.transmit (August 2017, Toronto)
The Nintendo app that once allowed me to craft these Miitomo cats is no longer available.
For nearly two years, I transformed these digital felines into avatars of myself, repurposing the game app to depict myself in shopping malls, supermarkets and art installations.
Cats, a staple of the internet and cute icons of Japanese manga culture, are far more popular than any historic artefacts.
These swift-moving cats inhabit a playful, gamified realm.
