Antonius Oki Wiriadjaja, 39, is a multimedia artist based in New York City, New York. He is also known as Foodmasku, which is a dual-language pun; In Bahasa Indonesia and Javanese, Food – mas – ku can also mean “Food of my brother.”
Foodmasku is an artist who makes masks from his meals and then eats them.
He is a former Fulbright U.S. Scholar in Indonesia and also a survivor of a shooting in his neighborhood in New York City which inspired his advocacy for gun violence prevention.
He created the Instagram account Foodmasku in April 2020, during a video meeting when a colleague couldn’t turn off a pickle face filter. He took his dinner and placed it on his face as a mask.
He heard laughter for the first time in a month. The project turned into a daily food face-mask selfie and was selected by The New York Times as one of “five art accounts to follow on Instagram now”. He has been minting his work as non-fungible tokens since March 2021.
In numbers, he has created 2,541 NFTs, worn 5,000,000 calories and raised over $15,000 for charity.
“I like to walk around my neighborhood, which has a lot of outdoor grocers, and if a food item looks like it would be fun to mask, I try it on there. My neighbors know me by now and are used to it.” – Foodmasku
