¡Estás invitado!

La Hypergrid Internacional Expo (HIE) es una conferencia y un evento artístico para los mundos virtuales que se conectan entre sí a través de la hiper-red OpenSim. No todos los creadores de OpenSim hablan inglés con fluidez, pero en esta conferencia todos los residentes explican, en sus propios idiomas, los mundos que han creado, los problemas que han superado, sus inventos, experiencias y su arte y, para que todo el mundo pueda seguir las charlas, hay subtítulos en alemán, francés, italiano, español y sí, ¡también en inglés! Es una ocasión única para descubrir todo lo que está sucediendo en el Metaverso.

 Las fechas y el lugar

Nos complace anunciar que la próxima Exposición Internacional Hypergrid regresará en abril con otra fabulosa lista de oradores, artistas e intérpretes. Al igual que en el evento anterior, planeamos realizar un fin de semana de charlas, música y presentaciones de arte en varios idiomas. 

Sunday at HIE 2023: Spanish Session

 Crossing continents with our last session, we were delighted to have with us Victoria Logan, Nazirah Avro, and Tosha Tyran. This Spanish Session gave lovers of languages the chance to sample four different accents, and three different windows onto the world as seen through Spanish-speaker's eyes.

From pure virtual art, to a personal testimony, to a RL monument made into mesh, it was a whirlwind of emotions.

Xirana Oximoxi was the Moderator for this session. Xirana is a writer with an extraordinary talent also for illustrations. She has published several books for children, and also has this really beautiful and moving blog full of her art - please do not miss it. Xirana lives in Catalonia, while Victoria is in Argentina, and Nazirah in Venezuela. As you can imagine, getting everyone to the event on time, with so many time zones involves, was something of a challenge! But Xirana's calm and kind demeanor and her good sense of fun got us through the trickiest bits of the planning and execution of the event!  Virtual worlds pulling our global community together all on one stage!

Saturday at HIE 2023: German session.

 The first session of the 2023 Edition of the Hypergrid International Expo began with a ... well let's not deny it, a few teething problems!

 Lots of moving parts, to this complicated machine called HIE. 

But within minutes of getting started the event was already attracting a nice mix of audience both inworld, on Craft Grid, and on our YouTube channel, where the event is streamed Live. That's where you will find the archive of presentations, in the weeks following this event, so it's worth Subscribing to the channel so you will not miss out. Please Comment, Like and Share, too of course!

The program for the first session began with greeting in five languages - just to get you in the mood!

It was followed by the German session, introduced by Loru Destiny of ArtDestiny grid, a place full of paintings, 3d art, magnificent Star Trek regions and beautiful Fantasy landscapes, great music events also (Moses Rae is resident there) and of course, Loru Destiny's marvelous freebie 'shops' - she is a fantastic designer of original clothes for opensim, and has been for many years; she began with system clothes and now makes rigged mesh that everyone can enjoy.

Friday HIE !

 HIE 2023 took off today with a fantastic party event on region HIE 4 of Craft Grid. The venue? A piece of art by Nyx Breen the renowned RL photographer and builder on such art-rich grids as Pangea and Alternate Metaverse Grid. 

Hanging in the sky above the Expo park, Nyx's build is a three dimensional treat based on the concept of crosswords, where the letters escape into the night sky. Inside the floor features a trompe l'oeil effect that will make dancers dizzy!
