Current & Upcoming

MetaObjects is working on the development of a new virtual exhibition space, V Hall for Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts. As one of the first online commissions, MetaObjects is creating an online game experience for Lu Yang launching in Summer 2023.

MetaObjects is supporting the production of a live motion capture performance for Lu Yang's major solo exhibition NetiNeti at Zabludowicz Collection in London (22 Sep 2022-12 Mar 2023). The performance DOKU, The Binary World takes place on 28 Jan 2023.

MetaObjects will also support the production of a live motion capture performance with Elektra Montreal with dancer Louise Lecavalier from 26-28 January 2023.

MetaObjects has been contracted by M+, Hong Kong's museum of visual culture. Working closely with the M+ team and its commissioned artists, MetaObjects will help to prepare curatorial content for the M+ Facade, a large-scale LED media facade positioned on the spectacular Hong Kong waterfront.

MetaObjects is participating as a mentor for C/O Digital Berlin. Working with artists in the incubator programme: Keiken, Debbie Ding and Ayoung Kim, MetaObjects will be supporting the development of new artworks exploring games and virtural environments that present New Values as the theme.

An interview with MetaObjects by Emily Verla Bovino has been published in Ocula magazine. Read the interview ›
