The Global ByeBye Gesture
NMN the NoMoreNukes Cat Hack
Series of Objects, Installations & Videos
by Humatic & Partners
|
|
Popular Japanese 'Maneki Neko' Lucky Cat figurines have been significantly hacked:
The cat's head is turned by 90 degrees which transforms the meaning of the waving gesture from 'welcome' to 'bye-bye'.
The solar powered statue now holds a yellow-black nuke sign.
The self-explanatory objects & installations trigger a controversial discussion about touched traditions & violated values. Operating close to Kitsch the NMN figurine gets populized to become a symbol for peaceful & playful protest against nuclear lunacy.
