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 !

Next HIE Event


 The Hypergrid International Expo for 2024 recently closed its doors on Craft-world, with a final show by Cherry Manga of her fabulous light and sound performance "Variations monochromes autour d'une coordonnée".

About 25 people showed up to say their goodbyes to this multi-language, multi grid event.
Many asked, when will the next Expo be? Who will be the speakers, and which artists will be performing? What languages will be featured, and on what grid will the event be held in the future?

All excellent questions, and the answers will be posted here on this blog over coming months, so do not forget to subscribe! If you do not know much about Hypergrid International Expo, you may find it useful to look at our  main website, which has details of how to participate in several languages.\

End of an Era

 This year's Hypergrid International Expo on Craft Grid was held over the weekend of April 19 - 21, as you probably know. It was a fun event, enriched by singers including the Italian Zeno Voxel, the German Wolem Wobbit, and DJ Marlon Wayne, Portuguese singer Zoree Jupiter, who did a set of Fado songs, and Thai performer Ouienanda. It was a kaleidoscope of culture.

We had two days of interesting talks on subjects ranging from education to opensim development, to personal stories of life in the metaverse. Four languages were used for the talks - plus the universal language of art, with fabulous displays by Velazquez Bonetto, Tutz Zabelin, Terra Merhyem, and Cherry Manga.
All this plus Jeff Kelley, CapCat Ragu, Lampithaler Artist, Drusus Zonenations, Gudule Lapointe,  Thirza Ember, and our Moderators, Rosa Alekseev, Tosha Tyran, Dabici Straulino, Lorenza Colicigno and Em Jannings. Plus a huge participation of people of all parts of the metaverse in our huge Expo region -103 booths this year!


Thanks to everyone who participated, we hope you will join us next time
