Archaeology in real-time
meditation on impermanence

Remember when everyone was talking about Web3, NFTs, and blockchain as the next big thing? The virtual realm was envisioned as humanity's next refuge.

Now, most of these projects lie deserted. Yet their decay is as meaningful as their original design. 

Ghostlands of the Web is a meditation on impermanence: we’ll reflect on the mechanics of forgetting and memory, digital ghosts, the aesthetics of abandonment and the collapse of bold intentions—all within speculation-rich, fantastic settings. We’ll encounter digital artworks left behind on dead servers, like collections never rescued from forgotten homes. Perhaps it will prompt a nagging thought: what does virtual decay reveal about the nature of reality itself?

A metaverse developer will join us, sharing insights into the technical side, behind-the-scenes stories, and the shifting context of the digital art and VR industry.

Take part in exploring what remains of the future we were promised.

_{To make the most of the event, it’s best to participate using a laptop or desktop with stable internet.}
