Dear Colleagues,

The Metaverse is a combination of virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the internet, and it is a virtual shared space where you can interact with others using computer-generated objects and avatars (3D representations of people). This technology can be used to make a digital replica of the world or to create new imaginary environments. The common devices that let you access this virtual space are such as the augmented reality (AR) glasses and virtual reality (VR) headsets.

Metaverse technology provides a new medium for art works, where the creativity of the artist is completely released. The art work is no longer flat in the map; it can not only be of any form, but also could be interacted with any user. It becomes a dynamic and living work, and the creativity that could not be realized in reality can be realized in the virtual world through Metaverse technology.
