The 25th<\/sup> anniversary of the avant-garde anime series Serial Experiments Lain<\/strong> will be celebrated with a special exhibition hosted by Anique Museum. \u201cWeird Exhibition: Welcome to the Wired,\u201d is an online event that will give attendees the opportunity to relive the eerie world of Serial Experiments Lain all over again, comparing it to the advancement of technology in the real world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First broadcast in 1998, Serial Experiments Lain follows teenager Lain Iwakura and her interactions with a virtual realm based on the internet called \u201cThe Wired.\u201d The Wired is far more advanced than the internet was in 1998, and is an all-consuming virtual world in which people can still live even after their physical body has died. The series explores numerous topics including the breakdown of divisions between the virtual and real world, cultish hackers, VR gaming, and mental illness. The exhibition looks set to examine how the idea of \u201cThe Wired\u201d has become even closer to reality in the 25 years since technological horror anime was first broadcast.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition’s new promotional artwork was drawn by Serial Experiments Lain’s original character designer Yoshitoshi Abe. Dates and details regarding the event have yet to be announced. Please keep an eye on Anique Museum\u2019s<\/a> page for more information. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
