MorE FoR LesS : BanaNa ViruS 10th ExhiBitioN includes BanaNa ViruS LOIC, his famous artwork which was designed in 2011.
The design is based on asymmetrical balance and the combination of points, lines and surfaces, which make LOIC special from others. LOIC represents itself as “Fan”, who always accompanies with everyone. It transmits the essence of “CONTACT”. The no-mouth design also aloud it to follow any emotions.
LOIC has been exhibited abroad these years. After 2014, It became Chance Entertainment Company’s own brand of virtual doll figure. After then, BanaNa ViruS has turned the main customer market back to Taiwan,Hong Kong, Macao and other Asia countries. And it has cooperated with a variety of different brands.
Dec 2014 he was signed to 1 branding company call Contact Bear, where virus gave them his copyrights to let them to use his Loic bear images/toys to do some commercial or advertisement appearance like MTV, Movie and video games.
With personal design insistence and cooperating with foreign designers and exhibitions, BanaNa ViruS has become an worldwide designer whose works have been seen in many countries.
