The idea of the Metaverse was first voiced in 1992 by Neil Stevenson... At the moment, it is utopian, the reason for this is a lot of economic and technological problems, but various parallel eco-systems based on virtual reality will begin to appear. They will serve as a means of recreation and aesthetic experiences; a gaming or trading element, along with new mechanisms of mediated communication, will serve as the basis for connecting the real and virtual worlds. The role of the artist in these circumstances remains unchanged - it is to make what is happening in the virtual world convincing and interesting.

[Amara & her new body prototype]

[ Amara = virtual actress ]

Caro m'è 'l sonno, e più l'esser di sasso,
mentre che 'l danno e la vergogna dura;
non veder, non sentir m'è gran ventura;
però non mi destar, deh, parla basso.
Rime, 247 (1546)
Michelangelo Buonarroti

[ Правда молчит и ждëт своего часа ]

Amara = philosopher

[ Even after the darkest night, dawn inevitably comes ]

[Overproduction of images and communications leads to their devaluation, and physical presence, tactility, and "analog" experience as opposed to "digital" transformation are increasingly becoming valuable. This value shift generates post-virtualization tendencies. In large cities, where life is immersed in dense networks and intensive flows, virtualization is already the history and way of life of the previous generation.]
