In a not too distant future the Earth has become inhabitable. The continuous exploitation of resources, culminating in global warming, brought the planet to its peak. Human beings are the only ones capable of surviving in this jaded and changing world due to new technologies. The self-supporting nomadic capsule construction allows for adaptation and movement according to the outside conditions.

Even in this context, human beings are still social beings by nature, so they have found in the new virtual space a new way of living, full of possibilities; the materialization of multispace. If there is something we know to be constant, it is change. We must not speak in a singular manner anymore; multispace. Multiple spaces, all at once.

This virtual space, this virtual reality created as an escape, has become the new real space, allowing humans to choose their own realities and restore their connection to nature. There are no limits or rules in virtual space, there are no constraints of space or time: everything is possible.

This is an exercise on the possibilities of virtual space.
