I am SO excited to share with you my latest and greatest project yet.
For the past few months, I’ve been working with the incredibly talented underwater performance art mer-model, none other than Hannah Mermaid herself.
She’s the real deal: an ocean activist who literally invented the profession mermaid: making spectacular mermaid tails by hand, performing & speaking for film, tv, events & environmental actions, and creating breathtaking imagery of human & animal encounters with large ocean creatures such as sharks, whales, manta rays and more. She’s featured worldwide for her underwater performance art as an advocate for female empowerment and ocean conservation.. Check out her incredible TED talk here.
I mean, dang…. GIRL CRUSH alert!
Back in February, she mentioned that she was seeking a “VR fairy” to help her build her dream world.
I am delighted to say that we have been collaborating wonderfully since then and now, after months of creative and technical work, we are finally ready to share this beautifully rich world for the first time with close friends and supporters like you!
Picture yourself swimming like a mermaid alongside sharks, just like Hannah the Mermaid has done for over 20 years. You don’t even have to hold your breath to enjoy the sights and sounds of one of Earth’s most beautiful environments: the depths of the ocean.
In addition to the main world, “Hannah’s Home” we have already begun to build out a few extensions including a “Deep Dive Theater” hosting high-res video content, and a “Bubble Art Gallery” with 100 gorgeous larger-than-life artworks, which you’ll be able to swim/fly around at your leisure.
— DETAILS —
The timing of the special “soft launch” event will be Sunday Aug 15 with a special featured DJ dance party set and art gallery tours / Q&A led by Hannah herself.
If you have an AltSpace account, you’ll be able to access this world for yourself with the special invite codes below.
If you don’t yet have an AltSpace account or a VR headset, you can still sign up and join us via 2D mode on your computer, though the experience will be more limited. There is no mobile option at this time.
Capacity is limited to 30 guests per “world.” If the main world is full, you can try one of the others. “Favorite” them all so you can easily jump between them from your AltSpace menu:
