About this event
Roundtable:
Art, Life, and Data in the Metaverse
12:30 - 2:00 PM, BAMPFA, Osher Theater, UC Berkeley
The unknown potentials of the metaverse and web 3 are both exciting and terrifying. Technologists, innovators and critics have been exploring the implications of a potential shift to decentralized, user-centered 3D experiences, which could eclipse our familiar two-dimensional ways of interfacing with our screens.
Here, urgent questions emerge about who owns our virtual bodies as they move through the metaverse, from work to play and home. At the same time, new modes of expression through online personas, animations, digital art, simulations, and machine learning promise to reveal new modes of cultural production and ways of living together. Join our panel of media innovation experts including Edgar Fabian Frias, Emma Fraser, Don Hanson, Wade Wallerstein and Richmond Wong to discuss the challenges and opportunities awaiting our curious explorations in this emerging space of critical data futures.
This event is co-sponsored by the Human Technology Futures Group and the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society at UC Berkeley.
