Spatial Media are interactive computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation or sharing of space, experiences, dialogue, and other forms of interpersonal connection via virtual venues and worlds. Spatial media platforms enable users to wander freely and regain a sense of @agency co-opted by @Social Media platforms and other @Authoritarian Technology. Some of these platforms, like @Topia, are end-to-end encrypted and grant a greater feeling a safety. @One Studio and @Citizens of One are co-creating worlds with spatial media, a practice playfully dubbed '@Surreal Estate', in partnership with @Topia. ::embed[https://www.youtube.com/embed/H4LosXgKX4g]{provider=youtube}

Reflections

Social media is about who you are, spatial media is about the space you make for others.
