A conceptual store-type artwork created by interpreting the purchasing experience as a "modern ritual." The store contains only display stands and price tags, with no physical products. Visitors use devices to purchase invisible items and receive empty boxes. This experimental work extends the experience of viewing and purchasing digital art into physical space, questioning the ownership of digital data. In particular, the theatrical handover of products by staff garnered attention and sparked interest as an initiative that prompts a reconsideration of ownership and consumption.

購買体験を「現代の儀式」として捉えて制作されたコンセプト・ストア型作品。店内には展示台と値札だけが設置され、物理的な商品は存在しない。来場者はデバイスを使って不可視のアイテムを購入し、空の箱を受け取る。この実験的な作品は、デジタルアートの鑑賞・購買体験を実空間に拡張し、デジタルデータの所有を問いかける。特に、スタッフによる商品の演劇的な受け渡しが話題を呼び、所有と消費を再考させる取り組みとして注目を集めた。
