Theme: Global Impact of the Metaverse – Now & Future<\/h2>\n

One of the most compelling and alluring aspects of the metaverse is its infinite potential and global reach. While many places in our physical world are convulsed with revolutions, uprisings, border conflicts, and wars, the metaverse is borderless, stateless, and infinite. \u00c2\u00a0In the physical world, resources are limited, hoarded, and fought over, but in the virtual world, pixels are unlimited and the only finite resources are time and our own creativity and imaginations. \u00c2\u00a0Still in its nascent form, the metaverse is only just emerging as a site to develop a truly global community, and we wonder how the nexus of physical and virtual may transform our worlds on a broader scale.<\/p>\n

As part of the Metaverse Cultural Series, we ask what impact may the metaverse be having on our world now, and how might it impact the global community in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay tuned for upcoming\u00c2\u00a0future Metaverse Cultural Series events!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
