METAVERSES CHA-CHA-CHA

🥳💃🏻👯‍♂️Dance your way into a new reality on Thursday 27 October 🥳💃🏻👯‍♂️

💫METAVERSES CHA-CHA-CHA DANCE PARTY 💫

Come and swing onsite & online with your avatar on invitation of The Hmm, affect lab and MU Hybrid Art House as part of the Innovatielabs researchprogram toolkitfortheinbetween.net

Can we dance in a metaverse? And if we can how does that work? Is there only one metaverse - defined as ‘persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces’- or are there many? And how can we playfully take back the narrative of the metaverse, which companies like Facebook are trying to co-opt, capitalise and own?

The concept of the metaverse is a hot topic, but you can also say it doesn’t quite yet exist. That is why we think this is THE MOMENT, when the metaverse is just coming into being, that opens up space for us to experiment with our own ideas of WHAT A METAVERSE CAN BE. Let’s shape our own ‘metaverses’—embracing multiplicity and rejecting a singular definition.

Come and join us for the METAVERSES CHA-CHA-CHA dance party where we’ll be dancing our way into a new reality together with you and our avatars.

Meet us on Thursday October 27 in the midst of Dutch Design Week at MU Hybrid Art House on Torenallee 40-06 in Eindhoven starting at 19.30. Or join us online and release your virtual dancer on screen.👯‍♂️🕺🏽🥳

Expect an evening with several metaverse experiments (and experiences!).

AR-guru Sander Veenhof will present three of his latest hybrid AR experiments and creative coder Babusi Nyoni is the architect of our Metaverses Cha-Cha-Cha hybrid dancefloor. DJ Vir the Sir will be joining on the decks and weaving together the soundtrack for the night.

To bring your METAVERSES CHA-CHA-CHA avatar to life using next generation AI, several open platforms we have created a manual for you to try it yourself. If you can’t manage we’ll create your an avatar-for-the-night to dance with on site.

Don’t forget to bring your smartphone fully charged or with a full charger at hand as we have only limited extra phones to dance with.
