Phantom is a user-friendly crypto wallet. Our goal for the website was to create an environment where everyone can learn about the world of web3.

OKOK designed and developed the website taking cues from the strong luminous shades of color which has become synonymous with his works. The scroll-to-browse site interaction also draws inspiration from the behavior of quickly flipping through the pages of a photo book.

“How are you?” 𝙃𝙤𝙬 am I? How 𝙖𝙢 I? A probing existential inquiry in disguise of a three word greeting, we leave it be, verbalizing only the acceptable and the polite. In the precarity of the moment, the could-not-have-been-verbalized remnants leave us in confusion. What even is that question, what even is it asking?
Together with our friends at @mpty.info , we embarked on a collaboration to conceptualize OKOK Meters, which are virtual measuring instruments that playfullly dispenses reading slips based on particular user behavioral patterns.

<평행의 거리> by OKOK Services reinterprets <태양의 거리>, one of the few films produced during the Korean War. When the war was at a stalemate at the 38th parallel, theatre-going was a very popular entertainment. This implies that life goes on even during a war, and that refugees, who lost everything, still pursue small entertainments in the new city that they found themselves in.

Speaking
We are and always will be obsessed with the medium of the web – the technology behind it, the aesthetics, the culture. We spend so much time in front of the screen, browsing the internet and get bored from common websites that present content but don’t represent it. We just try to make this magical place a bit more interesting than it already is.
Awards
