Last Tango presents the final iterations of mimizu – works that evolved from the qubibi’s "hello world” (2010) algorithm yet depart radically from their origin. The series marks the conclusion of the mimizu algorithm, as no further works will be generated from this system after this final exhibition at Nguyen Wahed Gallery in NYC.   Central to the exhibition is the premiere of the mimizu book – a formidable 600-page volume that chronicles this evolving body of work. Each of the 90 limited editions features hand-crafted binding and one of four distinct covers, three of which showcase previously unreleased works. Housed in bespoke red sleeves, with afterword texts by Mimi Nguyen and Casey Reas, these volumes materialize a long journey of digital experimentation into a tangible form.

Each collector of the unique digital artwork is eligible to claim the book via artfora by the end of 2024.

Kazumasa Teshigawara's mimizu began with a peculiar moment: feeding meat paté into code. What emerged were not mere algorithms but undulating forms with an uncanny vitality, marking the beginning of a decade-long obsession. Known as qubibi, Teshigawara has spent years perfecting these digital organisms that seem to dance between states of being – never fully tamed, never entirely wild.
