Metaverse
Is the future of art in the Metaverse?
Unveiling the artistic visions of Cao Fei and LuYang. The two contemporary artists share their perspectives on how the metaverse is influencing the world of art.
As artists, how are you using the metaverse to explore new artistic concepts and narratives?
Cao Fei: The metaverse is a place I have lived in. Since creating my digital avatar China Tracy, I have been experiencing the changes and evolvement of digital space in the past decades. My aim is not to use the digital space to achieve a goal or to prove a point; I’m interested in creating space and sharing experiences.
How does your art address the potential issues of identity, representation and diversity within the metaverse?
LuYang: I believe having a virtual identity is a great thing; you can really feel the benefits, for example when playing online games. People can choose their preferred avatars and identities in the virtual world. Since 2010, all the characters in my works have been genderless, which means gender identity is not something that needs to be discussed in my art. This basic setting enables me to create the works I love.
Cao Fei: My work is a representation of my experience and perspectives. I don’t really have an agenda when addressing these issues. When it comes to my works, my avatars – previously China Tracy and, more recently, Oz – are very different aesthetically. China Tracy is an active explorer and embodies a spirit of optimism. Oz, as a gender fluid hybridity of biological body and machine, embodies a serene and introspective demeanour as it gazes upon the virtual world. I think for me as an artist, it’s more important to create space rather than giving conclusion.

The metaverse is a world of near-endless potential, albeit a virtual one, and many innovators are finding new ways to use this technology. One of those innovators is Sansar, a social virtual reality/metaverse platform that enables users to embark on their next great virtual adventure.
While many have seen the metaverse and the technology that supports it — like virtual reality and augmented reality (AR/VR) — primarily through the lens of entertainment, the implications of this technology are far more wide-reaching. It’s not just games or even gamified exercises. With recent technological developments, the metaverse has established itself as the future of both leisure and work, giving users a tremendous opportunity to connect and explore in a virtual world.
When you consider just how quickly things move in the metaverse, it’s a wonder that anyone can keep up with all the news and product launches, let alone the constant influx of incredible artwork.
All things considered, it raises an important question: how can you efficiently discover the best upcoming art collections?
For the answer, look no further! I’ve scoured the metaverse to uncover the drops you simply can’t afford to overlook so you can focus on elevating your collection instead of endlessly scrolling through X and Discord.
