The Art in the Age of the Metaverse conference brings together artists, curators, activists and industry professionals from around the world working at the intersection of the metaverse and contemporary art. The Rijksakademie is participating and organising three workshops in line with the event.
Through talks, discussions, and presentations, participants will share their insights and explore key questions such as: What are the forms of artistic expression at the nexus of physical and virtual? How do these artists engage with the ethical, social, and environmental implications? How can we counter big tech in deciding what the metaverse is and can become? And what role do we, as participants, play in shaping the future direction? On the first day of the conference, the Rijksakademie is organising three workshops on these topics.
Tickets for the workshops on Friday 10 March at the Rijksakademie you can purchase below, per workshop. Tickets for the conference and exhibition are available through de website of De Balie. For more information on the conference's programme visit ageofmetaverse.art
The project Art in the Age of the Metaverse began in February 2022 with a six-month research in the field conducted by Leonardo Dellanoce and Arthur Steiner, from Memory Gems, who are guiding the project and conference with Hartwig Art Foundation and the Rijksakademie. The aim of the Hartwig Art Foundation and the Rijksakademie is to examine the different aspects of contemporary arts in the metaverse in order to explore, prototype and create new support infrastructures for artists and creative practitioners working with and around metaverse technologies (AI, VR, AR, MR, game engines, blockchain and more). The international conference in March is organised together with De Balie.
