Debuting on objkt.com on October 16th at 4 pm CEST / 10 am ET, the Fakewhale Solo Series “ERRR” by qubibi is an exploration of the beauty found in imperfection, encapsulating the 'errors' that emerge during digital experimentation. Drawing from his project 'mimizu', in this series these 'errors' are elevated from mere mishaps to essential elements, unveiling the intrinsic beauty and spontaneity of the creative process itself.
