VIVERSE WORLD

FAMEME, a durian tycoon from tropical Asia, employs the ideas of persistence and decentralization, which are essential to the metaverse platform, to create a three-dimensional virtual space online, “Fametaverse,” as the first metaverse space at HTC VIVERSE. On the island as a territory of infinite symbols, several transnational immersive space installations have been created since 2019—including the Museum of Durian (2019), Durian Exercise Room (2020), Durian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (2020), and Durian Duty to Be Free (2022)—are rearchived.

Fametaverse, the first step taken of FAMEME’s “Durian Universe,” is like the top-ranked private museum, amusement park, or resort of flamboyant fame. The project adopts virtual-world interfaces, further bringing the playful game and interactive engagement of FAMEME into the networked communities and hyper-mediated performance in the metaverse, as what FAMEME celebrates: “FAMETAVERSE! a bit of your universe!”

此計畫於2022年由臺灣當代文化實驗場「超限社會」委託製作。現正於台北市立美術館兒藝中心「跟你說個故事：很久很久以後」展出至2023年8月27日。

The project is commissioned by the exhibition “The Unrestricted Society” at Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab in 2022. Currently, it is shown in the exhibition “Telling a Story with You: Once upon a Time in the Future” at Taipei Fine Arts Museum until August 27th, 2023.
