Pokka is a 3D character that embodies the balance between togetherness, individualism, and the loneliness brought by digitalization. Pokka is a shy, introverted chrome figure representing those who feel different or excluded. Although Pokka appears introverted on the outside, its inner world is vibrant and creative. The installation explores how digitalization impacts social interactions and loneliness, featuring various digital and physical versions of Pokka, created through 3D printing and a range of materials in collaboration with technologists, 3D artists, and video artists.
Mick Thörig is a multidisciplinary artist and designer, skilled in creating intricate physical objects, art direction, and 3D modeling. His work has been exhibited at the National Glass Museum Leerdam, Dutch Design Week, and Carré.
Dylan van Dael, a Colombian-Dutch artist and producer, who is releasing his first solo work this September, centered around the 3D character 'Pokka.' Combining music, live visuals, physical art, and 3D art, this project highlights Pokka’s visual identity. Dylan has collaborated with artists like Joost Klein, Naaz, O.G Pezo, and Lucio101.
