Dive to Blue (October 2016)

This project explores the intersection of digital creation and artistic collaboration through the lens of a familiar character. Building upon the established persona of Marine-chan from "Umimonogatari," the series centers on the development of "iMarine-chan," a virtual idol conceived in partnership with its audience. The narrative follows the creative process, showcasing how user input shapes the idol's music, visuals, and overall identity. The work delves into themes of digital identity, community engagement, and the evolving role of the creator in an interconnected world. It presents a thoughtful examination of innovation and artistic expression within a contemporary online environment, inviting reflection on the potential and implications of collaborative digital art.
