Theme: MIRROR-REALM

Step into the immersive world of the “Mirror-Realm”, a metaphorical voyage into the metaverse where mirrors cease to be mere reflections but portals to interconnected digital worlds. In this theme, the mirror becomes a symbol of the infinite expanding digital landscape, reflecting not just the tangible, but the boundless expanses of virtual creativity.

“Mirror-Realm” challenges artists to envision and produce their interpretations of this digital metaphor, exploring the intersections of reality and the virtual. Through this theme, we invite participants to unveil the multifaceted dimensions of the metaverse, where creativity meets technology, and digital mirrors unlock gateways to unprecedented artistic expressions. Join us on this artistic journey into the 'Mirror-Realm' for IYDA 2024, where the boundaries between the tangible and virtual blur in a symphony of digital art innovation!
