Held within the immersive environment of the Inloco Metaverse, Inloco MetaTalks is a pioneering conference series focusing on the semiotics of virtual worlds. The metaverse, a social and interactive digital realm, enables users to explore, create, and engage with cutting-edge technologies such as VR/AR, AI, avatars, and digital twins—shaping the next-generation internet. These talks examine how cultural representation is evolving in this new digital space, with a special focus on the unique regional dynamics of Gulf countries. Inloco MetaTalks unpacks the distinct language, symbols, and cultural narratives emerging in the metaverse through discussions and public talks.
The conference is organized by Inloco Initiative, a brand that has been dedicated to supporting, exploring, and developing urban art since 2014. This includes the Inloco Gallery, which focuses on phygital practices to archive and preserve urban art digitally.
