Neon Monday #196 — Virtual Event Worlds and Website Inspiration
Your weekly email of upcoming design and creativity meet-ups, conferences, workshops, and exhibitions around the world!
Welcome to Issue 196.
In Issue 194 about Design Conference Trends for 2022, I mentioned digital agency Dogstudio as one to watch. Little did I know that they created the interactive content platform paired with a WebGL 3D replica of the actual World Expo site in Dubai: virtualexpodubai.com
With 70 custom pavilions, 85 thematic pavilions, 2 parks, 4 main thematic pavilions, 1 exhibition center. All of them re-modeled, textured, lit, and integrated into a sturdy WebGL-based universe.
The Expo dimensions being so large they had to divide exploration into 5 distinct districts. Each of them harbored dozens of those high-definition pavilions. Each 3D building is tied to one or several content pages, each being fully dynamic and left at the disposal of the participating countries to populate with their very own content including 360° visits, galleries, related events, etc…
Their team built an entire user experience around the pavilions. All events, podcasts, speakers, expo legacy, are also accessible via the platform. About 60 events will happen each day until the closing ceremony, on March 31st, and pretty much all of them will be watchable on the site.
Highly recommend exploring the Virtual Expo or watching the case trailer.

To our eyes, darkness is the absence of light, and light appears as the origin of life. In the world premiere of the awe-inspiring installation Spiraling Into Infinity by Amsterdam-based artist duo Children of the Light, light is staged as a fleeting yet tangible presence that is playfully roaming the nebulous exhibition space of MU.
