Mona Metaverse Gallery

https://www.mona.gallery/spaces/jcCDrEc2BOOc
The metaverse 'site, Mona, started a build-a-thon, called Renaissance, to showcase the capabilities of their platform. For my entry I created a gallery with a design similar to the period of the contest title. With my space I wanted create something that felt grand, but had elements that were both mildly shocking, stimulating and relaxing at the same time.
The project took about a week to build and complete. The goal was to create a space that was a mix of old (Renaissance), new (metaverse), expected (wood, marble), and unexpected (art by Zdzislaw Beksinski). I used a courtyard location in Turin City, Italy as the environment with the sound of birds singing at dawn.
