Over Coffee® is on holiday hiatus. Please enjoy this reposting of one of our top episodes of 2022. And be sure to join us next week, as we profile some of the innovators of CES® 2023!

For this Christmas holiday, we plan on going NOWHERE.

And it’s going to be a lot of fun.

That’s because NOWHERE is a relatively-new virtual platform, combining Zoom’s ability to communicate face-to-face with the ability to travel through, create content for, and host events in, some breathtaking virtual worlds!

This past week we visited an enchanting “snow globe”, created for the Christmas season. There’s currently a breathtaking “Cosmic Lighthouse” world that’s new since we last visited, as well as an art show featuring NFTs to empower Brazilian women.

Those are just three of the experiences available–along with performance spaces, workshops and just about anything a creator can imagine.

This past spring we had the opportunity to talk with NOWHERE Co-Founder and Managing Director Ana Constantino. Here she is, with the story of NOWHERE and some guidance on how to get involved, have fun and even host your own events.

On this edition of Over Coffee® we cover:

• Ana’s previous experiences as a creative professional at the intersection of art, media and technology;
  

• How she and her collaborators came to create NOWHERE;
  

• The reasons behind the name;
  

• How to share content and participate in live experiences in NOWHERE;
  

• The platform’s intellectual property requirements;
  

• One her most fun creative experiences, since launching NOWHERE;
  

• A closer look at some of NOWHERE’s virtual worlds;
  

• Ana’s advice on creating compelling 3D worlds.
