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.

Cybersalon will again present across 3 attended spaces

We have an interconnected technology set up. Using Zoom the digital and physical attendees will see into the VR meta-space. Using the web projector element in AltSpace the VR attendees will see the physical space at Newspeak on a big screen.

39 Whitfield Street in AltSpace is a faithful reconstruction of Cybersalons first bricks and mortar Cyber Cafe “Cyberia” which opened at 39 Whitfield Street in Central London in 1994.

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:
