Internet Yami-Ichi Tokyo 2016

The ​Internet Yami-­​Ichi (Internet Black Market) is a free­​-to­​-attend flea market where people gather and exchange “Internet­​-ish”​ things in real life.

Online secret society IDPW organized the first Internet Yami-Ichi in Tokyo in 2012. Since then it has travelled to Berlin, ​Sapporo​, ​Brussels​, ​Amsterdam​, Taichung, Linz, Seoul, New York and more. Past vendor items include glitch​­-embroidered clothing, Edward Snowden snow globes, and apps rejected by Apple.

Flea markets and the Internet are both fanatical and chaotic mixes of the amazing and the useless. In the Internet Yami-­Ichi the wills and desires which brought us online are salvaged into a social exchange celebrating the Internet, in the real world.
