This project names unused materials, doodles, rough sketches, and other digital data created during the creative process of artists and creators—data that never saw the light of day and remains dormant on PCs in a so-called "deadstock state"—as "Desktop Deadstock" and seeks to repurpose them to discover new value.
Exhibition: March 28 (Fri) – March 31 (Mon)
Opening Party: March 28 (Fri) 18:30–21:00
Fri, March 28, 2025 – Mon, March 31, 2025 UTC+09:00

In this exhibition, Desktop Deadstock data collected from creators is posted on Zora, allowing anyone to freely browse and purchase it. Those who purchase data during the exhibition period will receive a paper sticker of the same data and a drink ticket as a gift. We hope you enjoy the experience of casually purchasing digital stickers, just like buying regular stickers.
Zora is an open-source creative platform that allows creators to freely issue, sell, and distribute digital assets. Built on the blockchain, it enables artists to add new value to their works and ideas using cryptocurrency.
What sets Zora apart is that it is not just a digital art marketplace—it is a tool that allows creators to build their own markets within the platform and enhance the circulation of creative media. This empowers artists, designers, makers, and brands to connect with fans and collectors in a more direct and innovative way, establishing new revenue models.
By bringing together the groove of Deadstock and Zora, the once-forgotten Desktop Deadstock data hidden inside PCs can now reach a global audience. This fusion may give rise to new digital-era cultures and unlock unexpected value.
