COVID-19 effectively stripped away our dreams of intercontinental travel, but gave us an opportunity which otherwise would never have materialized: to rethink how we should travel in the future. Taking inspiration from "Online Lodging" initially begun by deserted Japanese inns, Yoshinari flipped the COVID travel protocol to make sense out of traveling virtually; he hacked the COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Self-Test Kit and turned it into a "Virtual Travel Package". In his presentation, Yoshinari will give an in-depth guide on the essence of travel and how he turned it on its side to create the alternative travel experience.

Yoshinari Nishiki
**Yoshinari Nishiki (@inariwishiki)** is an artist/researcher based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In his mid-20s, he figured out how he can survive for the rest of his life: exchanging one yellow banana for two green bananas in front of a supermarket. The newly invented job Banana Multiplier was presented as part of the “Time & Motion: Redefining Working Life” exhibition at FACT Liverpool in 2013. After relocating to Rotterdam, his focus shifted more towards modes of moving things, having conducted experiments such as free transport by crowd, moving a mountain of agricultural produce with food couriers, and single-handedly flipping a 20-foot container.
