Wonder Fair 6.0 Digital Twin explores duality in its many forms. The rise of the digital twin in technology, where there now exists a representation and virtual model simulation of real-world physical objects, is explored and juxtaposed with concepts like the alter ego, and the persona we reflect both in the real world and the virtual space. Humans are no longer just who they appear to be in the physical world, but instead are multi-dimensional with various existing identities, including the curated social media persona, the anonymous avatar and self-appointed handle living in the virtual world, and then the real in the flesh version of the self.
We Harken back to Donna Haraway’s 1985 essay, “The Cyborg Manifesto,” which pondered the relationship between people and technology so intimate that it’s no longer possible to tell where we end and machines begin. She claimed herself to be a Cyborg or creature of social reality and fiction. Thirty-eight years later, it seems cyborgs dominate the landscape that is planet earth.
Wonder Fair 6.0 Digital Twin is a two-day immersive art exhibition where analog meets digital with over 100+ emerging and established artists, including NFT art stars like Claire Silver, Terrell Jones, Jeremy Booth, Efdot, Ben Bauchau, and Cowboy Killer.
IDEAL GLASS STUDIOS
Ideal Glass Studios, comprised of The Mansion, The Atrium, and Virtual Reality AV/VR Studio with a green screen, is a place for all to transcend the norm and exist where alternative modes of thought and expression are encouraged and celebrated.
The Mansion is a repurposed Victorian home with a wrap-around outdoor patio above The Atrium in the West Village. The immaculately designed space comprises two floors linked together by an ornate wrought-iron spiral staircase that is a work of art. The Atrium is a vast industrial multipurpose space that transforms to suit any vision.
