The avatars are deliberately retro-futuristic harking back to the early days of videogame culture when we were all first asked to 'Choose your player'. Each avatar design features hand drawn frame by frame animation and futuristic motifs suggesting the avatars might have powers unique to the Metaverse environment and not bound to the laws of our physical world.

Highlights from the last year include the Neonz.xyz - a generative art project, that pushed our team to connect our ecosystem with web 3, paving the way towards an AR Metaverse. The Traitz - generative art tool - is a powerful tool allowing artists to jam with the machine to generate thousands of variations of their own art on the fly.

He introduces us to the LovePunks, a group of young people (and five grandmas) in Western Australia with whom he created a videogame and a digital comic by first getting dressed up, making costumes, painting faces, building sets and brainstorming stories by acting them out. He also shares how he and augmented reality programmer Lukas Karluk started covering the world in augmented art and sharing these tools with other digital artists.

Sutu Co-Founded EyeJack with Lukasz Karluk after the success of their AWE-winning Augmented Reality art book, ‘Prosthetic Reality‘. The book was a first of its kind celebrating augmented art from 45 artists around the world. The company has grown to support over 10000 artists and AR enthusiasts on their EyeJack Creator platform.
In 2021, EyeJack launched Prosthetic Reality v:2 featuring 65 artists and a Web 3 layer, allowing NFT versions of that art to be purchased directly through the AR interface.

Over the years, EyeJack has been fortunate to work with some of the biggest IPs and brands on the planet to deliver exciting AR activations, including the Spider-Man: Into the Spidey-Verse AR activation at D-Con. For this project EyeJack worked closely with the Sony team to use AR to reconstruct iconic scenes from the Academy award winning animation - showing storyboard sketches, to animatics all the way to achieve the final animated sequence.

Each avatar design features hand drawn frame by frame animation and futuristic motifs suggesting the avatars might have powers unique to the Metaverse environment and not bound to the laws of our physical world.
We presented the project as a giant sized comic book, paying hommage to the original format that launched it all, whilst simultaneously creating a ‚Metaverse‘-style experience that resonnated closely with the central theme of this new Spider-Man story - Into the Spidey-verse.
During his talk, Sutu invited the TED audience to create a digital glyph that he then wove into a magical metaverse tapestry, delighting even the most techno-hesitant.Each audience member accessed a web interface to create a simple symmetrical drawing . Each drawing was then collated into a eral-time floating AR starfield.The Metaverse is a new frontier for our collective digital culture. This interactive TED experience was a simple gesture towards making an accessible and welcoming Metaverse that allows us to reflect on the relationship between digital art and our physical lives.
Neonz AR is the first project of the Sutuverse - Sutu's own Metaverse! Sutu is exploring ways where owning Neonz will unlock future content in AR, VR and Web. NEONZ AR combines web3 with AR to dynamically load any one of the 10000 Neonz in Real-time, and have them light up the real world as interactive neon signs. Neonz AR also introduces Lightfieldz, an NFT inventory item that unlocks AR world effects.
The next installment of the Sutuverse is a WebGL explorative game world. This interactive world will flex the true power of the Neonz and Lightfieldz NFTs to unlock gameplay, prizes, Neonz lore and more!
Circuit Breaker is a browser-based speedrun game. Sprint through a maze of obstacles, corridors and moving platforms and activate hidden dimensions to seek out the fastest time. Have your time immortalised on the community leaderboard. Train now for our upcoming tournament!
Our Circuit Breaker Speedrun Tournament will launch Oct 1st. Each week you will have the chance to WIN cash prizes for the fastest time and other challenges. Learn more at blockborn.gg

www.sutuverse.comIn this immersive Virtual Reality Film you will step into a time warping dream bubble as four young Aboriginal Australians guide you through their futures. Be ready for an intergalactic adventure. Look out for the space emus!
Future Dreaming was inspired by the ancient Australian Aboriginal practice of Dreamtime, a mental visualisation technique where you see your spirit move through the past, present or future. The project began with a question… "What does your future look like… one week from now?” And then it grew… “5 years from now? … and 20 years from now?” "Could you be the first Australian Aboriginal astronaut?" "Sure!" Over the course of a few months our young protagonists; Ali Lockyer, Maverick Eaton, Nelson and Maxie Coppin, collaborated with VR artist Sutu to design their Future Dreaming in the limitless creation space of Virtual Reality. And once their worlds were designed, they employed motion capture technology to animate their avatars to tell their story and guide visitors through their creation.
At its core Future Dreaming represents an opportunity for these young people, who hail from a remote region of Western Australia, to dream big and to be included in the technological possibilities of prototyping their own futures. This work promotes cultural rights through accessibility, and supports emerging artists to increase their skills and capacity in the digital domain.
Producer: Alison Lucker | Writer / Director / Art Director: Sutu | VR Production: Visitor Vision | Technical Director: Charles Henden | Technical Art Director: Craig Bowler | Composer: Jake Steele | VR Special FX: Vladimir Storm | Senior VR Artist: Sutu | Protagonists and Junior VR artists: Alison Lockyer, Maverick Easton, Nelson Coppin, Maxie Coppin | Character Artists: David Keep, Rebecca Ambrose, Felix Ronnholm | 3D Animators: David Keep, Felix Ronnholm, Jilmar Altamira, Zoltan Vass
