New Irikanji release for Taipei Toy Festival 2017




Over the past two decades, Australian street artist Facter has created a world of fantastical creatures inhabiting a far future, post-singularity apocalyptic realm called "The Known". These creatures, known as Irikanji, are the result of years of creating illustrations and sharing them as colourful murals on the walls of cities across the world.

Transforming his street art and illustrations into hand made sculpted beings, the Irikanji are physical manifestations of the many inhabitants that reside within his imagination.

Facter will be releasing the first limited editions of Irikanji at booth A19 at the Taipei Toy Festival in October 2017, where he is looking forward to introducing toy lovers and new collectors to his futuristic universe.

The Known

The Known is a futuristic, post-apocalyptic realm in which nanotechnology has transformed organic life forever, and altered its place in our solar system. Set against the backdrop of a failed emergent singularity event in which the Axiate, a rogue AI entity, seized control over both the computational and physical matter of the world, The Known is a place of wonderous and surreal vistas.
 
In this chaotic and surrealistic realm, vast fields of nanotechnology known as Tehgu spiral out from our world into the depths, creating islands across the skies of space. Living across these habitats are new denizens of flora and fauna - highly evolved and mutated organisms, both biological and mechanical, that have
filled every ecological niche possible in the new world.

These are the Irikanji, and this is their time.



Joeji

The Joeji come in more varieties than any other Irikanji, and no two are the same. They are highly susceptible to Endopolygeny, in which they reproduce at a high rate into many different forms by budding off into different individuals. These often result in a variety of pseudo-calves and varieties based on the Joeji form - the Vikanji is one example of this. Their temperament varies - they can be happy and joyful or mad and aggressive - with a Joeji, you never quite know what you’ll get.

Joeji is available in a variety of 50 limited pieces. Each Joeji is a unique piece, with different colorways and detailing - no two are the same!

Price: US$55 / NT$1700
Height:8.5cm (3.3”)
Hand cast, painted and detailed resin. Toys boxed.
