VR – The Eclipse of Art
Metaverse
This exhibition delves into the concept of art's disappearance, as explored by Jean Baudrillard in his book The Disappearance of Art. It reflects on how art loses its aura and uniqueness, dissolving into the market and technical reproducibility.
The exhibition took place within a metaverse I designed for Pescara’s Blockchain Beach. The space featured a replicated art gallery divided into two zones: the Full Moon phase and the Moon’s Darkness phase. Additionally, two portals led to separate auditoriums—one set in daylight and the other in nighttime. Each auditorium showcased a curated selection of works from an international open call.
