By on • ( 2 Comments )

The artist ANTOINETTE, together with her technology partner BizzTech, have created a photorealistic museum space ofย  unprecedented image quality in the Metaverse for the ALTAR of EUROPA. The ALTAR of EUROPA is a real existing, 100m2 drawing consisting of millions of individual pencil strokes created by ANTOINETTE during three years of work . The image density of this monumental work of art is an ideal example to demonstrate the power ofย the browser-based multi-polygon technology used. In the digital world, every detail of the drawing becomes visible and perspectives and sections can be explored that would not beย accessible when visiting the physical exhibition. In this virtual space, museum visitors, regardless of their location, meet with theirย digital twins, their avatars. With their avatars and an integrated translation tool, visitors can communicate about what they see and what moves them, without being restricted by language barriers.ย
