Genesis
This year's MetaGarden consists of three major components: Genesis, Club and its few versions, and Love on the Edge of the Playspace. Elements intertwine and appear in all parts, connecting this virtual landscape, and it all started with Genesis, audio visual seed sown in the club, and unique digital sculptures, my proto machines that have multifunctional roles in this virtually real, imaginary and factual world of the possible and the apparent, the sensual and the meditative. Biomimetic objects take control of space, work in the background and inspire us to think about the spaces of the future, where entities like proto machines will play key roles in maintaining the systems in which we live. Synthetic agents, living-non-living things from our surroundings seduce, provide comfort, control, emit sounds, like biomimetic internet of things, in the space of the Metaverse.
MetaGarden Sphere4: Genesis is a small virtual garden that enables us to immerse ourselves into an ongoing soundscape generated with the help of custom-made artificial intelligence software. A deep neural network was trained to generate sound through samples of minimal techno music.The world of Sphere4 Genesis is placed within VRChat, an amalgam of a computer game and a social platform that offers its users possibilities of organizing events and publishing content in the form of virtual worlds and avatars. VRChat could also be described as a “Non-game game”, a class of software offering the player unbound possibilities of freeform play, identity and a great degree of self-expression, exploration and interaction, without the limits of conventional or imposed goals and objectives. All Sphere4 worlds published on the VRChat platform contain “seeds” of the MetaGarden ecosystem, with the addition of newly developed ones made especially for Sphere4.Ž
