The metaverse proposes a virtual world that, among other things, develops the possibilities of: 1) unlimited creative freedom; 2) share globally; 3) comprehensive inclusion without discrimination of any kind; 4) spontaneous generation of social groups through personal, work and participatory affinities; 5) registration and protection of the authorship of works without major complications on a global scale in a public way; 6) fair and direct marketing of artistic production; 7) transparent monitoring of the generation and ownership of the works; 8) obtaining royalties for resales; 9) exhibition of the works in hyper-realistic virtual formats that allow a wide interaction with them for their maximum appreciation, with the generation of new visual, emotional and sensitive; and 10) creation of disruptive exhibition spaces that transcend the mechanisms of favoritism and exclusion to which the majority are subjected. of artists, especially emerging ones, by not being accepted for incorporation into the world's conventional museums and art galleries physical. It should be noted that a large part of these benefits are not only provided through the metaverse, but by the entire web 3.0 system in general.

The new digital era has arrived loaded with an infinite variety of opportunities, possibilities, resources and tools available to everyone, but with a even greater potential for creative minds that envision the world in terms of doing and sharing what human artistic ability is capable of trigger.

Authenticity for all to see

Although the access and use of the metaverse seems like a resource available to only a few who can get hold of the necessary technological devices for it, the reality is that the vision of this technology, which is barely in its infancy, manages to be within the reach of all humanity sooner rather than later, through various tools and strategies, among which of course are the disclosure of its content through the resources already widely managed in the conventional internet.

All this display of public content on the shares of this virtual world provides clear evidence of its existence, more than that, the possibility of registering a Direct authorship of a work through its certification through the Blockchain, confers a transcendental security feature for all artists and creators, allowing them to use this system in order to claim and protect the intellectual authorship of artistic facts, be they tangible or intangible, a reality that until just a couple of years ago was available to a few privileged users of conventional intellectual protection systems, whose cost tabulators for the registration of works are largely unfeasible for the artistic production.

Overcoming the barriers of discrimination

Despite the fact that there is still a long way to go in the technological development itself that will lead us towards the metaverse, it is already glimpsed at the level social the deep and important impact that this futuristic possibility turned into reality has, as a globalized resource for the generation of an authentic sharing without borders, creeds, colors, or any other excuse that supports some type of discrimination and segmentation social.

Transcending in this way above one of the greatest scourges of humanity will allow the overcoming of a great variety of social problems, behavioral, moral, ethical and even possibly even spiritual, since having a humanity free of prejudices that threaten the integrity of people and encourage respect and acceptance of the other, can guide us towards the authentic evolution of human consciousness from the Being, for an every time better do.

New opportunities, new knowledge

Metaverse and web 3.0 combine a potentially unlimited variety of resources available for the intellectual and creative development of those who wish to take advantage of it, in this sense, artists from all aspects and corners of the world are joining through the projection of their plays. This sharing that is just beginning allows us to glimpse a path of great satisfaction, in which the dignity of the artist himself becomes a reality that goes beyond virtual world towards the most intimate human reality, a phenomenon that is massively encouraging towards such an abundant and innovative creative sharing, which is leading towards the generation of both new artists as well as new knowledge about the various elements that make it possible for something to be considered art, within a new movement, comparable to the great eras creative that had only been glimpsed in the Renaissance, Romanticism and the Baroque, but whose name now ends up being the least important because of its multidimensionality than by itself It represents.
