VIVE Arts | Behind the Scenes - Metaone, Ben Elliot

Ben Elliot’s Metaone, a joint project by Esther Schipper and VIVE Arts.
At the center of Metaone is Ben Elliot’s ambitious XR metaverse project which aims to redefine our relationship to the creative space and be a vessel for forward-thinking cultural forms. Divided into four distinct environments, the Metaone VR artwork explores XR (extended reality) with the technologies of the VIVE headset. Metaone offers viewers an immersive exploration of cutting-edge ideas and values. The guided experience, which includes a soundscape by Kingdom, first takes visitors to SHAPE, an area that is a space for discussions on future architecture, design, and web3 aesthetics. DEEP will take viewers on a dreamlike journey into the world of data and AI. INFINITE imagines unlimited creativity through generative software. And in ZEN, viewers can discover a tranquil, sensory space, designed to promote well-being and foster a beneficial connection to the metaverse. Elliot imagines a virtual paradise that represents a future world where history, nature, technology and science intertwine and enhance one another.
The project is co-commissioned and presented by VIVE Arts, a global arts initiative that empowers artists to experiment and innovate, using the latest digital tools and mediums, in partnership with Esther Schipper and organised with Olivier Renaud-Clément
