Metauniverse

In the series, we raise questions of the intrusion of virtual perceptions into our lives, further enforced by COVID lockdowns. The virtual world invites us, promising bright and joyful sensations, but at the same time it draws us in, like a rabbit hole leading to another dimension. Virtual experience invades everyday life. Virtual entertainment, work, shopping, friends and, finally, your virtual body. From improving our image in selfies, enriching reality with beautiful backgrounds and surroundings, and all the way to complete dissolution in a colorful fantasy world. The line between reality and fiction is gradually blurring. At some point, we may find ourselves imprisoned in it and dependent on it. A person in the virtual world does not pay attention to the surrounding reality. He lives in it, but it is no longer the sphere of his interests. What will the reality look like when people's consciousness goes into fictional worlds? Will they take care of the world around them, of the ecology, or will the planet be covered with deserts? Will the only things remaining in the reality just be purely functional structures? How will people staying in virtual reality contact with those to whom it is unavailable? Will they understand each other? Maybe the new world will look abandoned. Maybe our survival at all is under a question. Maybe we will be forced to search for a new home in the universe, but will we be able to find one and build it again?
