For some years now, we have entered the era of the metaverse, of virtual reality, of spaces accessible only via a screen, of real worlds in which millions of men and women from all over the world meet, owner of a new digital identity and another character, usually the one we would dream of being in "real life".



We are talking about virtual reality, a space in which you must not only identify yourself but in which you can interact, walk around completely freely, enter restaurants or nightclubs, you come home from work, you put on your VR headset, and you connect to your avatar, the one on the other side, in the other life, and you go to visit a gallery or join your friends in the central square to laugh together.
Some virtual worlds even allow you to invest in real estate, virtual but real estate, since some somewhat exclusive properties can reach amounts of several million dollars!
The metaverse and its potential value is estimated at 5000 billion, it is not a utopia, it is an alternative, an infinite world or rather infinite worlds.



VR is now more and more accessible, offers countless applications in our everyday lives and also allows us to live sometimes extraordinary experiences, whether in the game, immersed in a quest filled with adventures, in culture by finding yourself in the middle of the most beautiful buildings in the world or in the heart of the great pyramid, in art by visiting hundreds of exhibitions from around the world, as if you were there.
In Brussels, today begins an exhibition that gives food for thought, in an open and curious way, on the virtual world, the digital, and the place of art and nature and also the interaction with this digital nature.

"The Artwork as a living system" //Art Center for Digital Cultures & Technology
30 quai des charbonnages - 1080 Brussels
From. April, 14 to Sept.29

Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau have been recognized internationally as pioneers in creating immersive artworks that encourage viewers to experience and engage with the natural world while simultaneously creating digital works of their own.



Plants, water and lights become the physical components of virtual environments created by visitors.
The ARTWORK AS A LIVING SYSTEM brings together traditional and innovative artistic techniques to explore the connections between art, nature, and digital interactivity.



The works presented here offer an intimate and tangible perspective on complex concepts such as quantum physics, the theory of complex systems, genetics or molecular nanoscience.
