Metaverse, 2020

Planet LEV Matadero is an artistic, immersive experience created by Children of Cyberspace and produced by Matadero Madrid and L.E.V. Festival. Available both in virtual reality and for web browsers, this dream-like digital universe is filled with animated sculptures and sound installations by artists from all over the world: from massive moving structures that can be explored from every angle to interactive artworks and portals to other digital worlds.
Planet LEV was born during lockdown in order to turn these challenging times for culture into a chance to experiment with new formats. This parallel universe creates a space for digital creativity and experimentation without limits.
The virtual scenery has been inspired by the Asturian landscape, home of L.E.V. Festival, and its dominant species are the Nimis, sentient beings that are the most renowned collectors in cyberspace. Their love for arts has made them dedicate their whole planet to the beauty of creative expression.
Enter Planet LEV to fly over its massive cliffs, lose yourself in the canyons, go inside its caves, discover astonishing artistic installations in every corner and interact with its fauna and flora. When you decide to end your journey, don't forget to stop by the desert to leave your trace and plant a tree that stays until the last cycle of the planet.
To wander through the virtual planet is an artistic experience in itself, but the visitor is also able to explore the digital, audiovisual and sound proposals of international artists: Robert Lippok & Lucas Gutierrez: SPIN; Elías Merino & Sergio Millán: Heterotopies; MSHR: Concentric Core Reflector; Fractal Fantasy: Tentacle Queen; Sabrina Ratté: MONADES; NAXS corp. & Meuko! Meuko!: Ghost Island: Innervision; Boris Divider: Spheral.Cluster.
