Postcards From The Metaverse
"Postkarten aus dem Metaversum" is a series of performative events (beginning in autumn 2022) by media artist Katharina Haverich. The series of lecture performances aim to share experiences of travelling in and through Virtual Reality (VRChat)—and bring these back to real life. For the project I directed the overall visuality and developed an event poster inspired by the style of travellogue events. For the lecture performances themselves I designed a series of analogue postcards inspired by the aesthetics of VRChat. For this purpose I processed VR stills taken by Katharina (partly shown in the exhibition Expanding Dreamcapes, 2022). Besides these stills the postcards display the name of the VRChat world, the name of the creator of the world and a short description about the situation the still has been taken in. The look and feel of the postcards connect to the familiar aesthetics of 'used" analog postcards while still retaining a certain digitality. Client: Katharina Haverich
