We’re here to show miracles.
Most commonly miracles don’t expose—they rather restate in abstract forms or lurk behind puzzles that pleaders must decipher, or yield nothing at all. But in this case, no traps are meant. Your ticket will be a pass along the path to the source of visual delight.
If we can describe “Digital Extravaganza” in one word, the word would be marvel. Like a fairy tale or a recurrent dream, it works through surprise and transforms fantasy into a state where a new reality is born. Reality is another word you’ll get familiar with here at ToDA. During the journey through the show, you’ll plunge into VR (virtual reality), explore AR (augmented reality) and the Metaverse, converse with AI (artificial intelligence), and discover peculiar imaginative territories. The map you receive will guide you along the path.
We wish your imagination to be aroused.
It will be better if you imagine yourself as a character—whether main or supporting—in the plot: riding an apocalypse horse in Jonathan Monaghan’s “Out of the Abyss,” becoming a genetic engineer in Luna Ikuta’s “Afterlife” or living a utopian life according to the Synticates’ Solarpunk Manifesto. Clearly, there is no deeper insight than what we experience firsthand; by engaging attentively, you will fully embrace the scenography of the ToDA space and discover everything we have prepared.
Art tells no lies.
