Thank you to @snowyunxuefu for including the Planet Aris monologue written by the talented, @rentawriter, in Sheng! Sheng(生), which is the Chinese character for “life,” is the theme of the current @vr_ws_park Metaverse Exhibition. Thank you to @natychuk and @dslcollection for hosting our artist talk! We had a great time talking about life, motherhood, the orishas, and the way digital technology and performance intersect.

Save The Date & join us on Friday, April 7th - we will be a part of Sheng! ( We will post the link to join the day of the event )

Sheng (生) is a Web 3 exhibition taking place in the virtual exhibition space, VR WSPark, hosted on the social VR platform, Sansar. Sheng (生) is curated by the digital human, Daughter ICE, and her progenitor, New Media artist Snow Yunxue Fu. The exhibition is co-hosted by the DSLCollection.

Sheng (生) is the Chinese character for life (人生), living (生活), birth (出生), and Lives (生命). The artworks in this group exhibition explore these concepts and their implications in the context of existence in digital spaces and the Metaverse, and virtual beings created with imaging technologies. taken in The Metaverse by @theorixaproject

YEMAYA 💙

YEMAYA is the Yoruba orisha of motherhood and the sea. She is the great mother of us all and represents Mother Earth, the life giver. As the patron of women, she is associated with the moon which has a powerful influence on women.

A behind the scenes look into the process of creating digital humans for ORIXA. 3D scans of each performer were created and then brought into character creation softwares for cleanup and design. Although AI was not used for this process, as it keeps proliferating, artists, technologists, and performers will have to work through the ethics of image scraping and digital human creation.
