A conference and art performance event for the hypergrid enabled virtual worlds. Not everyone in Opensim is fluent in English. HIE is a 2 day event where residents speak, in their own languages, about about grids they've made, problems they have overcome, their inventions, experiences, and art. And, so that everyone can follow the talks, there are subtitles in German, French, Italian, Spanish and yes, in English too !

Art at the HIE

 In 2017, the HIE conference was an international success involving a dozen grids and a huge team of presenters, moderators, translators and of course, a wonderful audience.

In 2023, the HIE conference will be another mashup of languages and grids. 

But one language will be very much front and center - that of art and visual performance. 

In each session of the conference, we plan to involve an artist who will feature big visual effects, making this a conference above and beyond what is possible in real life.

This presents a real challenge to artists, in technical and figurative terms. We look forward to seeing what they come up with!  Are you interested in presenting at HIE? All presentations are made in languages other than English. If you speak German, French, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish, get in touch with us inworld. 

Come to the HG Safari Clubhouse on OSGrid. 
At the landing area you will find this green, Tree-shaped Mailbox for HIE correspondence. 
Leave a notecard with your details and we will get back to you!

Welcome to the World of HIE!

 The HIE is here!

Hypergrid International Expo is an opportunity for the residents of Opensim whose first language is not English to present a talk or demonstration about their grid, region, project, or tech ideas to the rest of the community. 
Hosted on Craft Grid, this event is by open sim residents for opensim residents. 
We plan to hold the next edition of HIE in October 2023.

It's a two day get together where you will hear many languages - and see a lot of subtitles! 

This is the new home of HIE, please follow this blog if you are interested in learning more about the event.
