<About aibo X INSTINCTOY>

aibo is an entertainment robot that connects with people in the home, becoming an object of joy and affection to nurture. It possesses curiosity, approaches humans on its own, and aims to deepen bonds through repeated interactions, becoming a partner that grows together.

aibo proposes a new relationship where robots and humans can communicate like family and support each other. In this collaboration, we have fused the worldview and charm of aibo as a lovable character with the theme of "Infiltration, Coexistence, and Evolution" that INSTINCTOY has pursued, creating this art collaboration piece.

The special model has evolved into its current form through the infiltration and fusion of the life energy of INSTINCTOY's character Liquid into aibo, intertwining two value systems.

The body features a polygonal design reminiscent of a gem with multi-faceted cuts, where countless flat surfaces continuously reflect light, expressing a sense of presence as if it were alive. The surface is coated with a polarized pearl finish, transitioning delicately from white to pink, yellow, and green, creating subtle color changes that flow like body temperature and emotions. The gold lines and aurora stones at the joints symbolize the "wires that connect life," radiating a soft glow.

The entire piece expresses the scene of unknown life and aibo accepting each other, supporting one another, and nurturing bonds, resulting in a special creation that resonates with technology and creativity, emotion and beauty.
