Meet the Company:

Since 2005, Boston-based design house Mimoco has fused the art of contemporary characters with the functionality of personal data storage devices making its name known in both the pop-culture driven Art Toy underground and the savvy high-tech ‘tronic world.

The distinctive character-based MIMOBOT line offers from 1GB to 8GB of flash memory storage and transport for all your finest and most precious music, docs, pics and other personal data bits and bytes. The MIMOBOT range is available in several crossover flavors, such as Star Wars, Halo, and Japan’s Domo and our MIMOBOT Artist Series has functioned as a canvas for pop-artists like Gary Baseman, Jon Burgerman, and Simone Legno amongst other fresh designer toy, street art, and urban cultured talent.

MIMOBOT flash drive creations also originate from the minds of our fans through design challenges voted on by our ever-growing community, first with the VDC MIMOBOT Series. And our original MIMOBOT Core Series of data deprived denizenshailing from far out planet blõôh* is what started this whole creative revolution in portable personal data storage.

Additionally, MIMOBOT flash drives deliver original exclusive preloaded “mimory” content for your enjoyment. MimoZine™, a quarterly video-based digital magazine, features interviews with musicians, profiles of artists, pop-culture event coverage, and other things at the intersection of technology and art. Also look for our mimoDesk™ personalization suite of wallpapers, icons, avatars, and screensavers to enrich your digital desktop experience and mimoByte™ sound software that gives MIMOBOT a voice.
