We're kind of teetering on the edge of a new one, but if we're gonna sidestep the problems that have played us so far, we are gonna need new tools, new ways to be together, to live new, and to connect [echoes]. Tai Shani: Any of the things that do have that idea in them of like what the world could be [are like] casting a stone into darkness, but that stone gets met at some point? Or, that's the hope, isn't it? Zing Tsjeng: What if we just thought a little bit bigger here, and we came up with an alternative view of the future and what it could be like. Gaylene Gould: What is a world and how do we begin to reshape it? What role can artists play in this? These are the questions we'll be exploring in REWORLDING, a new Serpentine Podcast series hosted by me, Gaylene Gould. Irenosen Okojie: You can create worlds that people don't recognise. You can create worlds that feel familiar, but suddenly you take somebody somewhere completely new and recalibrate a universe. [echoes] Gaylene Gould: The Serpentine program is all about exploring art and ideas for a changing world, and I've been working with the team to hunt for tools that will help us fashion a more expansive, compassionate and resilient world. Samson Kambalu: For me, remembering is almost like a creative exercise, you know, to try to get back to the present moment by the way of the past, Declan Rowe John: Art is like a way to portray your message to the world and kind of bring people together and show that they aren't alone. Gaylene Gould: Throughout this series, I'll be speaking to leading artists, designers, writers, and thinkers. We'll be hearing new sound art as well as diving back into Serpentine's vast archive to try and answer some of these questions. Performer from Tai Shani's work: I pray you can survive this and live forever Gaylene Gould: In REWORLDING, we'll be dreaming, listening, playing, remembering, and connecting in radical new ways. We'll be traveling together through gardens and game worlds, inner states and outer space, and I cannot wait to share the journey with you. Our first episode drops in January, 2023, so subscribe to Serpentine Podcast now and start your year by reworlding with us.

How can gaming and virtual world-building help us design better cultural architecture and infrastructures? What does the metaverse show us about community building and the co-creation of experience? And what do ‘antecedent’ technologies have to show us about creating ethical frameworks? Taking an intergenerational view, we join Native American artist and technologist Amelia Winger-Bearskin and Andie Nordgren, of popular MMORPG Eve Online and Director of Live Platforms for Unity to find ways through the hidden architectures and decentralised ethics of the metaverse and its precedents. Playtesting is presented by Tamar Clarke-Brown, Serpentine Arts Technologies and produced in collaboration with Sasha Edye-Lindner from Reduced Listening. Additional sound design by Alx Suutoo Dabo.
