Feral Metaverse
SUM Podcast, May 2025
by Ondřej Trhoň and Tjaša Pogačar
Theo Triantafyllidis, the artist behind multiplayer video game Feral Metaverse joins us on the pod to discuss the ideas, mechanics and the experience of the game, how he translates it to exhibition settings and how combining physical and digital media can address questions of embodiment, identity and collaboration in hybrid realities. We talk also about his wider art practice in which he uses various technologies ranging from game engines, VR, to live action role-play in order to create immersive, interactive environments often shaped by absurd, yet also poetic situations.
This episode is hosted by Tjaša Pogačar and Ondřej Trhoň, sound logo by Oliver Torr, cover visual by Jaka Neon. The episode features sounds and music from Feral Metaverse by Diego Navarro.
