How did it all start?
We, a team of artists and engineers connected through XR studio Delta Reality, started MoDaL at the start of 2020. We were fascinated by the vast possibilities of combining technology and art, and wanted to explore where this could take us. We asked ourselves how we could push the boundaries of where digital art is today, to move beyond the current perspective and see what it could become. Thus the idea of the Museum of Digital Life was born.
MoDaL is...
A place at the intersection of art, technology, engineering and mathematics. A place where we don’t place digital art in a digital museum, but where we build the whole museum around specific art pieces.
A place where we move beyond the 2D space, and create 3D art you can walk around, walk into, and interact with. A place you can visit and explore with other art lovers, just like you would
in the real world, creating a real, living part of the metaverse. A place that will continually grow.
As the museum grew, so did the team working on MoDaL, ranging from 2D artists, 3D artists, real-time modelers, engineers, developers, musicians and mathematicians merging their skills to create new ways of expression. The goal of the team born from this project is to connect art with engineering, programming and mathematics, and see where it will take us.
The first step is the Museum of Digital Life.
