On Tuesday 23rd April, Bay led the tour of her /SPATIAL installations in Decentraland. The tour was streamed across all the Decentraland social platforms, with over 1600 people tuning in live.
/SPATIAL (“slash-spatial”) is a new exhibition on the emergence of Spatial Computing, which debuted simultaneously on Thursday, 25th April at the objkt.one NFT platform, Tech Contemporary gallery, Copenhagen, and in multiple virtual worlds.
Fourteen leading 3D and VR artists have minted new works for the show, which considers Spatial Computing through the reinterpretation of seminal works by art’s original Spatialist, Lucio Fontana (1899 – 1968). Co-curated by web3 producer Bay Backner and AR expert Damir First, /SPATIAL displays the NFTs as 3D objects in virtual installations across Decentraland, OnCyber and Hyperfy, as well as via Augmented Reality (AR) installations in the physical gallery.
Bay was joined on the tour by /SPATIAL co-curator Damir First, Decentraland Head of Marketing and Partnerships Kim Currier, and the artists Leah Smithson and Mattia Cuttini.
View the virtual installations at OnCyber, Hyperfy and in Decentraland World 1 and World 2 until 1st May 2024. All works and the curatorial text can be viewed at objktone here.
