Ever since Mark Zuckerberg gave his enterprise a new name, the concept of the metaverse - the digital parallel universe in which users coexist as avatars - has been on everyone's lips. However, sharing and working together on digital platforms has become omnipresent to all sectors of society, especially with the outbreak of the pandemic, raising questions about the relationship from physical to digital space. In this space, new possibilities arise, while at the same time limitations and obstacles emerge.
The Collaboratory of the Lenbachhaus has started as an experiment just less than a year ago as an experiment to be able to work on these questions as a prototype, among others. Which perspectives does a digital space for artistic collaboration provide? How can participation be realized? And what role does technology play in the construction of this digital reality?
The panel discussion will reflect on these questions. We will also be able to take a look behind the scenes of the Collaboratory.
