Solo NFT Art Exhibition by Yoichiro Kawaguchi

A solo exhibition of NFT art by Professor Yoichiro Kawaguchi, my mentor from my days as a graduate student at the University of Tokyo.

Will a 1990 work by Professor Kawaguchi—a world-renowned CG artist known for his “self-replicating growth models,” in which the artwork itself grows by proliferating cells—be revived as an NFT after 30 years?

It was such an elegant experience to view the artwork while receiving a personal commentary from Professor Kawaguchi (*^^*)
