RABBIT ISLAND

Usagi Shima (うさぎ島) is a small Japanese isle that’s home to a horde of cotton-tailed rodents inspiring its aforementioned “Rabbit Island” nickname. Officially called Ōkunoshima (大久野島), it has a less-than-cute human history of military activity, running from the Russo-Japanese War at the turn of the 20th century to being a key player in developing chemical weapons during World War II. There are countless other Rabbit Islands around the world—from several in Australia to one called Koh Tonsay (កោះទន្សាយ) in Cambodia. They each boast their own unique stories and environmental circumstances, ultimately impacting their occupying organisms in myriad ways.

Creamcake’s eponymous Rabbit Island rave at Berlin’s Zenner on July 29 is one of two experiments in possible outcomes from a complex sum of variables, by inviting several radically different artists to inhabit a specific space and seeing what happens.

The party at the former GDR restaurant in Treptower Park follows an earlier event of the same name at the nearby Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the same Soviet era in the north of the Plänterwald.

Besides 3D design, AI tools were also used in the creation of the visuals, primarily to generate different versions of the 3D texture maps for the rabbit-like characters
