Arts Management seminar series: Navigating and Building the Metaverse

The seminar questions what the metaverse is and how merging of the physical and digital realms could become a reality for all of us in the future. But is this the way to go? Featuring a talk from a representative from Serial Co, a Singapore-based, inter-media, polymorphous creative art studio, the seminar shares creative tech experiences in navigating and building virtual spaces commercially while discussing what it all could mean for us moving forward.
