Thoreau Bakker is a Toronto-based artist and academic in the early stages of research into virtual worlds and the Metaverse. What unique forms of social interaction do these virtual environments offer, and how might we make them safer, more inclusive and accessible? These are some of the questions guiding his inquiry, seeking knowledge about social and technological challenges and how we might overcome them.
