Love and Madness Market — special anniversary event

For its 4th anniversary, Love and Madness ran in two places at once: six artists — meylin haruka, BLABLAHOSPITAL, dogooooo, HISUI HIROKO ITO, Genie Ink, and uuu3’s — built physical booths on Laforet Harajuku B0.5F while constructing their inner worlds as 3D environments in MEs, and visitors moved between both. It was the market’s first year bridging physical and digital — open all of April, free in MEs via Steam.
