My Famicase

2022– • Print, Product Design

Since 2005, METEOR has hosted the My Famicase exhibition, showcasing illustrators and designers with a passion for gaming. Each year, approximately 250 labels for fictional Nintendo Famicom video games are printed and then affixed to actual game cartridges. Visitors at METEOR can vote for their favorite concept, with the winner being selected as the face of the following year's show. Since 2022, the exhibition has traveled to Hong Kong and Los Angeles.

My 2022 entry, Just a Trim, centered around the precarious act of cutting ones' own hair, and the embarassment that could follow. My 2024 entry, Here Comes a Regular, aims to capture the experience of spending the best and worst nights of one's life in a local corner pub; navigating complex, interpersonal relationships, meeting your neighbors, and attempting to find solace. Both titles were "developed" by TV On!
