What is the science collective 'LOM BABY' led by Transeeds Inc.?
It is a science collective composed of artists, engineers, and scientists under the theme of 'The Birth of Life'.
Starting with a presentation at the World Trade Center (New York), their exhibition at the Grand Palais (Paris) drew about 4,500 people in two days.
In 'LOM BABY - PLUS ULTRA', realized through a collaboration with KDDI, all exhibited works were sold out.
They broke the record for the highest number of visitors and transaction volume at the venue, GINZA 456 Created by KDDI, receiving high acclaim both domestically and internationally.
Furthermore, 'Dragon Meat', recreated using cutting-edge biotechnology, made its world premiere at the National Art Center, Tokyo.
The exhibition caused a massive sensation, gracing the cover and feature pages of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
At the EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, they achieved the remarkable feat of being selected as an official Expo highlight.
They have also been highly evaluated as an upcoming science collective, having been selected for 'NEXT100' by the global business magazine 'Forbes', and featured on its cover.
In February 2026, they recreated the 't-virus', the symbol of 'Resident Evil', using state-of-the-art biotechnology. It was world-premiered at Shibuya PARCO under an official collaboration with CAPCOM.
It generated massive feedback, creating lines of over an hour and a half and trending as the #1 news topic both domestically and internationally.
From 2026 to 2027, they plan to announce the latest bio-products for domestic and international markets, along with collaborations with global IPs and fashion brands.
The Shift from AI (Artificial Intelligence) to AL (Artificial Life)
Since its inception, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has experienced three major waves.
In the 1950s, the world was enthusiastic about the new intellect called AI, but technical limitations and excessive expectations soon turned into disillusionment.
The second wave arrived in the 1980s, raising hopes once again for 'intelligence surpassing humanity', but this too collapsed, entering the 'AI Winter'.
Each time humanity experienced such disillusionment, our longing for 'life itself' deepened, turning our eyes to the new possibility of Artificial Life (ALife).
Born in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Artificial Life imitated the principles of life in virtual worlds, brightly illuminating the void left by AI.
Currently, AI is in the midst of its third wave. Generative AI and self-improving models continue to evolve rapidly, showing no signs of abrupt stagnation as seen in the past.
