What is a virtual world made of? What is its essential substance? Can that ocean of code actually be the support for new forms and expressions of life, perhaps with no physical body, but aware of its own existence? How does the metaverse evolve? Thinking about the metaverse of Second Life implies questioning reality, existence as we understand it. This documentary-machinima captures moments of creation, instants where the original formless digital substance takes a logical and recognizable form, from abstraction to representation, from unknown to known.

¿De que esta hecho un mundo virtual?, ¿cuál es su sustancia esencial?, ¿será que lo que para un ser humano puede ser solo un océano de códigos realmente puede ser el soporte para nuevas formas y expresiones de vida, quizá sin cuerpo físico, pero consientes de su existencia?

¿Qué es el metaverso?, ¿cómo se crea?, ¿de que esta hecho?, ¿cómo evoluciona?, ¿qué sucede con las nociones básicas espacio-tiempo?

Pensar en el metaverso de Second Life implica cuestionar la realidad, la existencia tal y como la concebimos. Este trabajo documenta en forma audiovisual momentos de creación de este mundo virtual, instantes donde la sustancia original toma forma lógica y reconocible.
