The multi-disciplinary artist Ido Shemi was born in Kibbutz Rosh HaNikra in 1963. During the early 1980s, he became involved with Punk culture (he was a member of the "Mu'akah" band and cooperated with the bands "Dead Begins" and "HaShafan HaNachon"), and was a key figure in the alternative culture scene in Tel-Aviv in the late 1990s. Shemi focuses on sculpting, illustration, comics, video-art and photography. His art installations were exhibited in the Tel-Aviv Museum of Art (2002), the Israel Museum (2004) and the Museum of Modern Art in Shanghai (2006). In 2008, his installation "Olympic Games" was commissioned for the Olympic Fine Arts Collection, and shown in Beijing in 2008 during the 29th Olympic Games.
