VEGA 0001 - REALITY IS SUBJECTIVE

Welcome to a world beyond your imagination, where technology has surpassed even the wildest dreams of science fiction. Cities tower above the clouds, connected by networks of flying vehicles and hyper loops that transport people and goods at incredible speeds. Augmented reality overlays the physical world with digital information, blurring the line between what is real and what is not. Artificial intelligence and robotics have revolutionized every aspect of life, from entertainment to healthcare. But with great power comes great responsibility, and as we venture further into this brave new world, we must tread carefully and make sure that progress does not come at the cost of our humanity.

AVA 0002 - BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE

The brain-computer interface is a revolutionary technology that allows us to control machines with our thoughts. By connecting our brains directly to computers, we can interact with technology in a whole new way, bypassing traditional input devices like keyboards and mice. It's a game-changing technology that has the potential to transform the way we work, communicate, and even think. The future is now, and with the brain-computer interface, the possibilities are endless.

DAX 0003 - AUGMENTED REALITY // METAVERSE

The metaverse is a virtual world that knows no boundaries, where you can be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do. With virtual and augmented reality technologies, you can explore this world in ways never before possible, interacting with digital objects and environments as if they were real. The metaverse is a brave new world, where your imagination is the only limit.

NOVA 0004 - PLANT-MACHINE INTERFACES

Plant-machine systems represent the marriage of nature and technology, where living organisms and machines work in tandem to create a more sustainable future. In the world of plant-machine systems, technology and nature converge in a symphony of efficiency and sustainability. Machines tend to the needs of plants, while plants provide the machines with the energy they need to function. It's a perfect partnership that has the potential to transform the way we live and work.

TYSON 0005 - HACKING // CYBERCRIME

Welcome to the dark side of the digital world, where keystrokes are weapons and information is the currency. In a world where information is power, hackers rule the streets. But with every hack comes the risk of being caught, and in a world where cybercrime is punishable by law, only the most skilled and daring can survive. The world of hacking, where the lines between right and wrong are blurred and every click of the mouse could be your last.

NIAMHI 0006 - SPACE TOURISM // INTERPLANETARY COLONIZATION

Space tourism offers the opportunity to experience the thrill of space travel and glimpse the wonders of our universe.
