MADE FOR THIS CITY Vol.1
MADE FOR THIS CITY -TOKYO- is an international digital art open call organized by Artcrush and NEORT, using the outdoor signage of Tokyo (Ginza, Shibuya, Harajuku, and Omotesando) as its stage to invite works on the theme of "TOKYO."
By transforming signage from a "surface for selling" into a "surface for feeling," and through works created specifically for each place, artists from Japan, Belgium, and beyond engage with the city of Tokyo.
Following the open call (April 28–May 12), a total of 14 works will be selected and exhibited in June 2026, divided into two phases.

Artists
Saeko Ehara is a Kirakira (sparkling) artist and VJ based in Tokyo. Her works mainly represent Kirakira. In her latest works, she explores combining AI and Generative Art. She keeps learning and exploring the expressions of Kirakira with multiple ways.
Her inspiration comes from memories and joys of her childhood. She was into drawing, collecting Kirakira cards of her favorite Anime, stickers, toys, acrylic jewels, small glassworks and reading illustrated books of flowers. She was so enthusiastic that she always forgot the time passed when she did her favorite things.
Through her works, she would love to make the world full of Kirakira.
Miss Dew is an Italian multidisciplinary digital artist working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, video, and manipulated photography.
Her practice unfolds through two distinct paths: she explores the potential of Generative AI to create visionary, surrealist images and videos, while her photo compositing work transforms multiple shots into singular, conceptual, and evocative pieces. Through these mediums, she investigates themes of identity, memory, and transformation.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, bringing her continuous exploration of new media to the global contemporary art scene
