In Morphing Memory of Neural Fad Pt.2 and Neural Fad, Emi Kusano imagines fleeting youth attitudes from cultures that never truly existed. These works act like snapshots — moments of style and desire that feel familiar yet historically absent. By treating AI as an extension of her body, the artist generates images that merge nostalgia with invention, staging the body as unstable and in flux.

By contrast, Techno-Animism explores a different dimension: the merging of technology with animistic sensibilities. Here, machines and digital systems are not mere tools but entities imbued with spirit, blurring the boundaries between human presence and artificial life. The body becomes a site where spirituality and technology intertwine, opening a speculative space that resonates with the theme of embodiment from another angle.
