[About exhibition "POP ATOMIC"]
Mikati Slade (Japan)
The ATOMIC bomb changed the Japanese people forever.
8-bit console games are a loving part of Japan's POP culture nowadays.
I felt that both the atomic bomb and the 8-bit consoles are powerful symbols of 20th century's civilization, at least as experienced by the Japanese people.
And, so, POP ATOMIC was born.
Enjoy it and lets discuss it together. Arigato^^

Emily Lang (Greece)
Mikati has been a long-time business partner and friend.
She talked to me about her concept for this year's Burn2 event.
I loved it and asked her if she needed any help.
Luckily she did and I contributed my part :)
