In relation to the term metaverse, the prefix meta- describes the seamless transition between the analog and digital world.

Similar to how the metaverse presents a digitized version of a human character, in the room installation „Meta“ we have attempted to create an analog representation of the digital world.

On the one hand, we use mirrors and projection to depict the visitor’s avatarisation, thus creating a Selfie-space. On the other hand, video and sound content describe the virtual character of the Metaverse in which we create a cosmos that is controlled in an inhuman way by data and algorithms.

In our work process, we have tried to avoid the subjectivity of our personal perception to emphasize our concern about this form of technical emulation and created content that is designed and animated according to randomized specifications and formulas.

This creates a strange but also fascinating emptiness that appears rational and objective, although there is absolutely no specific content.

"Monomono - Icon" is an electroacoustic, audiovisual live-show. The audience is invited to encounter light, sound and video projections submerge into an immersive experience. The music proposes a narrative of forgotten or previously muted female heroines and combines that with the relatively new fear of a complete digitalisation and assetification of all cultural goods through the ideas of Web 3.0. These thoughts are transported in the language of form and content and thus present a counterplay between female heroism and hyperdigitality.
