MESH Preview was created as a community “teaser” of what’s to come at the MESH art fair in July 2023. At MESH Preview, Decentraland visitors could explore eight new immersive artworks by leading 3D creators. The artwork was presented in eight floating cubes, all with secrets and surprises inside.

Visitors started their journey at Edifice Metaversal in Decentraland (2, -39), then could find a teleport to a secret location where there were four more cubes to explore. We also hosted two community tours in collaboration with The WIP Meetup and ABC Decentraland, and welcomed 212 visitors in three days.
