Why Donate to Odyssey?
The Odyssey Contemporary Art and Performance Simulators are a collection of artist-run virtual spaces currently active in Second Life, VRChat, and Resonite. Established in 2005, the Odyssey Sim in Second Life is the oldest artist-run sim in the metaverse, and one of the most enduring platforms for networked performance art in virtual and hybrid spaces.
Odyssey has continuously evolved through changing technologies, supporting artists across a wide range of virtual worlds, including experiments with platforms of the past (Craft World, NEOSVR, and the macGRID Simulation Research Network). Over the years, Odyssey has supported hundreds of artists, collectives, and organizations, helping them explore the boundaries of performance, installation, and contemporary art in immersive environments.
Dedicated to experimental and contemporary practice — with a strong focus on performance art — Odyssey provides artists with studio and exhibition space, technical assistance, and community infrastructure to realize ambitious virtual projects. The simulators regularly host events, performances, and exhibitions by both emerging and established artists working at the intersection of art and virtuality. We regularly collaborate with universities, museums and art galleries to bring virtual presentation to real and hybrid spaces.
