METALOST: Escaping the Metaverse
In METALOST, participants enter an escape room set in a dystopian metaverse, that immerses them in a world of ethical and social dilemmas. As they navigate this complex landscape, they have to find their way back to reality.
Through the artistic expression of technocriticism, METALOST conveys the darker facets of technology. As a platform for critical thinking and awareness-raising, it offers participants the opportunity to consider the ethical and social implications of AI and Metaverse in an immersive escape room environment.
It has an important educational role in preparing people for the future and contributing to a better understanding of the technological controversies, regulatory issues and ethical debates associated with the metaverse.
