An Internet-ish flea market

The Internet Yami-Ichi flea market is back in Brussels! 

Join us at the bitSOIL cash-making market for personal data and trade your absolute most valuable good – bitsoil – your data lost in platform havens. High profitable exchange rate guaranteed!

The Internet Yami-Ichi is a flea market where people share and buy internet-related things.

The internet used to feel like a vast, unexplored alien land👽. A new space of freedom, liberated from the constraints of the old world. Gradually, it conquered real life, and from an alternative, grew into a necessity. In the process, it also became increasingly streamlined, commodified, wall-gardened and heavily monitored.🙀

So maybe it’s time to find a new escape, back into the real world!🌳 Look at flea markets: much like the old cyberspace, they are chaotic assemblages of unlikely objects, amazing collectibles and useless trash. The Internet Yami-Ichi aims to be a flea market for the post-digital age. An invitation to relive, in the physical space, the freedom and gleeful anarchy of the early internet! 🌍 Discover and buy glitch clothing, captcha art, analogue archives of Google Search results, digital delicacies, screenshot postcards, https condoms, and more!

🎎Exonemo and their online secret society 👀IDPW organised the first Internet Yami-Ichi in Tokyo 🏯 in 2012. The fifth Yami-Ichi took place in Brussels, in 2014. After travelling to over ten cities, including Moscow, Seoul and New-York, the Internet Yami-Ichi is finally returning to the capital of Europe!
