: The New Mutant

This May, in New York. 

Your chance to showcase your work
at the center of contemporary art.

Join us at the 3D Spatial Social media 'Adler'.


We're looking for 

a New Mutant in NY


Mutant

The biosphere refers to all parts of Earth where life exists. 3.5 billion years ago, it was created through the photosynthesis of microorganisms known as cyanobacteria. All forms of life owe their existence to cyanobacteria, as they take in nitrogen and produce oxygen.

Virtualsphere

Now Adler would like to initiate the conversation on “virtualsphere.” We are often blind to the obvious: people live in the virtual world. People build relationships with others and experience joy and sorrow in the virtual world. We invite new mutants to this new world. These will be the artists, the trailblazers who will pioneer the new environment of virtual reality, much like the cyanobacteria.

New dimensions

Adler creates the virtualsphere with new mutants we call artists. In May, artworks of these new mutants will be showcased on Adler 3D SNS, transcending the boundaries of space and time, in New York City. 


  • Focus New York 2023 is an art fair that will take place from May 18 to 21 at Industrial in Chelsea, New York. Adler is the technology partner, mediating between virtual reality and the physical art fair. 
  • Address : Chelsea Industrial, 547 W 28th St, New York, NY 10001

Adler, 

a tech company that believes 

in the power of art


Why did a tech company venture 

into the field of art?


Our vision is to utilize innovative technology to create a virtual world that complements reality. 


And we believe artists are best suited to utilize this technology.


Because artists are the ones who have always dreamed of surrealistic canvases, free from the limitations of the era and technology.


The collaboration between Adler and the art fair will open up new possibilities in the field of art and technology.
