what we did

In collaboration with Jägermeister, poweredby.tokyo embarked on a unique project with doooo, a DJ/producer and silicone artist. Leveraging doooo's participation in Night Embassy, the team brought his human flesh creations to life, particularly focusing on a standout offline element – the human flesh tap machine. The collaboration and the human flesh tap machine not only added a unique offline dimension to Jägermeister's Brand Icon program but also generated substantial local buzz. The video successfully shared this distinctive creation with doooo's international fanbase, contributing to Jägermeisters' narrative expansion.

PARCO OSAKA POP-UP

The highly anticipated human flesh tap machine debuted as part of doooo's exhibition event series with nationwide department store chain PARCO, during his Shinsaibashi, Osaka showcase on December 16-17. This exhibition-party hybrid event highlighted doooo's multifaceted artistry. Local Osaka and Tokyo DJs, including doooo himself, set the perfect atmosphere for over 200 guests who came to admire his body of work and explore his previous collaborations.

The centerpiece of the event was the human flesh tap machine, placed on a ceremonial altar. Adult guests had the opportunity to interact with it through a complimentary "Ice Cold Shot." A projector displayed behind-the-scenes footage of the AWAKENING short film, offering a sneak peek of the upcoming project that will introduce the tap machine to a wider audience.

THE MAKING OF THE HUMAN FLESH TAP MACHINE

We explore the Jägermeister x doooo collaboration, revealing the behind-the-scenes creative process. This project merged Jägermeister's bold identity with doooo's distinctive artistic vision through a meticulous process that spanned from initial concept discussions to the final product.

The result is not just a beverage dispenser, but a piece of art that serves as a unique marketing asset and collector's item. This collaboration has significantly boosted Jägermeister's brand visibility, particularly on social media platforms, and has enhanced its perception among art and design enthusiasts.

The project demonstrates how artistic collaborations can elevate product design, foster consumer engagement, and create memorable brand experiences that resonate beyond traditional marketing approaches. The behind-the-scene video unfolds the overall process from the initial design sketches through the meticulous crafting of a clay mold for the tap machine, shaping the overall model, and finally adorning it with paint and airbrushing techniques. This fascinating timeline documents the birth of this masterpiece.
