From meme-cookies, bracelets made of hard drive cables to 3-D prints of your own chessmen collection to scratch cards that promise a prize of 25,000 Twitter followers; such treasures can be found at Internet Yami-Ichis, humorous, quirky flea markets for Internet-related things.

What is Internet Yami-Ichi?

The Internet Yami-Ichi, from the Japanese “Internet Black Market”, is a flea market where people can share and buy Internet-related things in real life. In this weird market, you can browse through the booths and find the amazing and the useless—in an ironic and humorous atmosphere reminiscent of the early Internet era. The Internet Yami-Ichi was created by the art collective IDPW, that took place for the first time in Tokyo, in 2012. Since then many editions have been organized in several cities including New York, Seoul, Moscow, Madrid, Berlin and more.
