31.80615739914422, 35.308738030835784 are the coordinates of a disappearing landscape.
‘Memories for a Metaverse’ was created as a cultural repository for the future: to address the glaring gap between the new frontier of the metaverse, and the marginalized communities that inhabit our Earth, which we have gradually left behind physically, technologically, and hence virtually.
The project seeks to digitize landscapes that are shrinking and a culture that is disappearing in real time: re-creating spaces, artifacts and stories of a community's past and future, and bringing them into the metaverse. This image was produced through a combination of photogrammetry, 3d modeling, and AI processes to imagine what the memory of a disappearing landscape may look like.
With the proceeds from the sales, we are building a poetic XR universe to bring memories of lost histories and spaces into the metaverse: imagining and re-occupying burgeoning virtual real estate lands with the fragments of lost cultures, histories, and spaces rescued from our recent past. Owners of this NFT collection will be included in the film credits, and will be eligible to attend events associated with the film’s premiere.
This collection belongs to a larger XR project called “In This Land,” which was initially developed through the Venice Biennale VR College Lab, and currently supported by NYU ITP/IMA, and SAT (Société des Arts Technologiques) in Montreal. The project has been presented at international film festival markets including: the Venice Film Festival, VIFF, IDFA, and Geneva Film Festival.

She is currently focused on bringing collective (and personal) memories into the metaverse: She is now developing "In This Land," which was initially conceived out of the Venice Biennale VR Lab; and 'Memories for a Metaverse' as a cultural repository for the future. The project seeks to address the glaring gap between the new frontier of the metaverse, and the marginalized communities that inhabit our Earth, which we have gradually left behind physically, technologically, and hence virtually. Through In In This Land, she is collaborating with partners in Colombia and local communities in Palestine to build an XR universe that can bring memories of lost histories and spaces into the metaverse.
