Cybersalon Christmas Event 6th Dec 2022
Games, Gore and Governance in VR
Can immersive games teach us self-governance and better democracy for human tribes?
On 6th we will review and share game playing on three virtual worlds that take interactivity and learning to the next level, while not being short on gore and drama.
Games to review:
- Disco Elysium – by Robert Kurvitz (2019)
- Mesmer – by Rain Games (2020)
- Altspace VR – by Eric Romo (2015)
- Trolley Problem, Inc – Read Graves (2022)
Join Eva Pascoe (Cybersalon Chair) , Ben Greenaway, Stefan Lutschinger (Middlesex University), Simon Sarginson (Developer at Improbable), Karolina Janicka (Cybersalon Community Manager) and others on a journey through the Metavibes for Good.
How to be together in meta spaces, forge new paths and celebrate being in the virtual room with others.

Artwork by Halidonto Digital Artist
Hallidonto is attending the physical venue and is bringing his Quest headset to Newspeak so if you are in AltSpace you may bump into him while visiting his exhibited work in VR.
Hallidonto’s art is created through the use of different media, including VR, crypto,digital, painting, drawing and poetry. Via computers, television, cartoons and comics his childhood was immersed in images of cyborgs, superheroes and machines from the land of the hyper-real.
The essence of the cyborg became his inspiration identifying with the concept Cyborgia holistically explores the Hyper Real in an unreal, virtual world
Come and take a look around, explore this introduction to Hallidoto’s Cyborgia – some of the work below:
