Two immersive digital art experiences are launching today with live guided tours. **Featured Works:** - Elisaveta Sivas' "See Through the Eyes of the Creator" - Olga Force3D's "Concrete Block Shack in the Woods" Both pieces contain **nested virtual environments** - complete worlds existing within the artworks themselves. **Live Experience:** Alex Estorick and Bay Backner are hosting real-time tours through these digital spaces, offering viewers guided exploration of the layered environments. The tour format allows audiences to discover hidden elements and understand the artistic vision behind each world-within-a-world concept.

**Day 2 of Decentraland Art Week** focuses on helping virtual gallery creators get noticed in the competitive digital art space. Key topics include: - What curators actually look for in virtual galleries - **Secret techniques** for creating compelling virtual art spaces - Using **Web3 and AR technology** for competitive advantage The event features partnerships with **Brave** and **ArtiviveApp**, offering networking opportunities and practical insights for artists transitioning from gallery creation to audience building. This follows the recent launch of Decentraland's ready-to-go Art Gallery template, making virtual gallery creation more accessible to creators.

**Cybermike4's immersive experience** *Gaia is Dying* launches at Decentraland Art Week (Sept 24-27), featuring time travelers from a barren future warning of tech dependency's dangers. Players take on the **Librarian role** to heal Gaia's fading life force through: - Gathering forest samples - Cleansing corrupted plants - Discovering ancient stones - Confronting the great fairy The experience explores themes of **environmental destruction** and humanity's relationship with technology. Visitors who achieve true harmony with Gaia may receive her resonance - others face destruction. This builds on Decentraland Art Week's nature-tech theme, following Agustin Di Luciano & Melina Ojagnan's *Forest Goddess* - another hybrid experience blending organic and mechanical elements. **Join the mission** to save organic life at [Decentraland Art Week](https://decentraland.org) before time runs out.

**Synthetic Rest** offers a rare moment of calm in the digital chaos. Artist Johanna Jaskowska presents a minimalist installation featuring: - A vast field of abstract, pale grass - A solitary **silver-skinned posthuman figure** at rest - No movement or performance - just peaceful presence The piece stands out among Decentraland Art Week's interactive experiences by embracing **stillness over stimulation**. While other installations invite clicking, touching, and exploring, Synthetic Rest asks visitors simply to **be present** in a quiet digital space. *Experience this meditation on rest at [Decentraland Art Week](https://decentraland.org/artweek), September 24-27.*
