Atlantis is a mythical island nation first mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias." According to Plato, Atlantis was a powerful and advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his own time. He described it as a place of great wealth, advanced technology, and a highly organized society.
The VR Atlantis project in the metaverse Neos VR is an art 3D installation for avatars that is inspired by AI-generated images. The project serves as a metaphor for the current exciting state of AI, AI-generated texts and images, akin to the discovery of the lost city of Atlantis. In the same way that the discovery of Atlantis would bring new knowledge and understanding to the ancient world, AI-generated images and texts are making easy accessible knowledge to everyone in our digital age. AI-generated images give us possibilities for how to start a new art project and help us visualize our thoughts. It is a kind of new enlightenment by AI.
The VR Atlantis project aims to provide a unique and immersive experience for avatars, allowing them to explore the virtual environment in deep blue with light and veils. Avatars can unveil and reveal, discover the light that is a metaphor for new information from AI.
The use of a deep blue colour palette and the metaphor of light hidden behind veils create a sense of mystery and intrigue, inviting the avatars to question their own perceptions and beliefs. The installation encourages the users to slow down and pay attention to the details, immersing themselves in the present moment and fostering a sense of introspection.
Overall, the VR Atlantis project is an exciting endeavour that will push the boundaries of what is possible with AI-generated art, 3D modelling and metaverse technology, providing a unique and engaging experience for users while raising awareness about the potential of AI in the field of art. The VR Atlantis is a visual experience and a journey of self-discovery.
