◆Media Art Exhibition “BOT-ON”◆ (Until March 19, 2023)
Prior to the Sakura Festival, a media art exhibition will be held in the Ameyoko Plaza shopping district by young artists “Mischief Creative Group URO”. The work is scheduled to be live-streamed 24 hours a day, with a live performance of "printing shit on toilet paper and flushing it with water". We are also working to reprocess toilet paper (recycled pulp) into fuel and reuse it as a sustainable resource. The exhibition aims to revitalize the shopping district by utilizing vacant stores and involving young people, and we plan to continue working to support young people, such as recruiting young entrepreneurs and creators.
■ Special site (You can participate in the live performance from this site.)

<Title> BOT-ON
<Description> BOT-ON is a toilet system of the new era that acts as a substitute for flushing shit. I wonder what kind of shit you want to throw in the water. A tweet that slipped? A tweet that was tweeted in a drunken mood late at night? We want you to experience the refreshing experience yourself.
<Duration> 3/11 (Sat)-3/19 (Sun) 12:00-19:00
<Location> 68-69 Ameyoko Plaza, 6-10-7 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo 110-0005
Mischief creative group URO
Formed in April 2021 when all members became members of society. A creative group consisting of 6 Generation Z members with different backgrounds and specialties. As a prank, he sets up works of art in “the gaps in the world” that the majority of people in the world do not pay attention to. Members are from Digital Hollywood University or related.
In the future, Ameyoko plans to hold events not only for young people, but also for families and child-rearing support.
