In January 2022, cross-disciplinary artist Ed Fornieles collaborated with art curator Sam Spike to bring an NFT version of electronic pets (Tamagotchi, once all the rage) into reality.
The 'Finiliar' designed by Fornieles is a group of adorable little creatures inspired by the chemical reactions that occur when humans interact with infants. Over the years, this team of little creatures has shortened their name from 'Finiliar' to 'Fini'.
In 2024, Fornieles will further explore the Fini world, taking viewers behind the scenes to understand how he depicts each Fini, their families, and their various emotions and expressions. In the 'Fini Sketches' series, Fornieles shares 25 Fini sketches and storyboards, adding context to the original series from 2022.
