Metaone
Metaone is an ambitious metaverse project which aims to redefine our relationship to the creative space and be a vessel for forward-thinking cultural forms. Ben Elliot developped Metaone with the ideas of a virtual paradise that represents a future world where history, nature, technology and science intertwine and enhance one another.
The first presentation of the project was organized by Olivier Renaud Clément and took the shape of an installation at Esther Schipper in Berlin and Paris. It included a XR experience produced by VIVE Arts.
This VR artwork offered a guided experience, which includes a soundscape by Kingdom, taking visitors into the four distinct environments that constitute Metaone:
SHAPE, an area that is a space for discussions on future architecture, design, and web3 aesthetics
DEEP, a dreamlike journey into the world of data and AI.
INFINITE, imagining unlimited creativity through generative software. ZEN, a tranquil, sensory space, designed to promote well-being and foster a beneficial connection to the metaverse.
The installation also included a short film, as well as artworks derivating from Metaone’s environments and aesthetics such as a curtain piece, some prints, as well as Xchair.
